“Daeshin” (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton), a new cultivar for leaf vegetable, was developed from a cross between YPL5 (Ipdeulkkae1/YCPL187) and Milyang2 at the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (NYAES), RDA, in 2002. For the cultivation of leaf vegetable perilla, seeds are sown in narrow spacing of 10 × 5 cm and all branches are removed to harvest uniform leaves from main stem. Because of the narrow planting distance, it is difficult to distinguish seeds from soil in dark brown seed cultivar. Therefore the gray-white size color of “Daeshin” is very useful characteristic for easier sawing in perilla cultivation. “Daeshin” grow vigorously and yield high quality leaf. The fresh leaf yield of “Daeshin” is 9% higher than that of “Ipdeulkkae 1” (4,823 vs. 4,459 kg/10a). For the leaf production, “Daeshin” is adaptable to whole arable land in South Korea. However, the southern parts of Korea such as South Gyeongsang and South Jeolla provinces are appropriate for the seed production.

A new pink gerbera (Gerbera hybrida Hort.) cultivar “Pink Giant” was developed from a cross between “Salina” and “Marita” followed by seedling and line selections at the Flower Breeding Research Institute, Gyeongnam Agricultural Research and Extention Services (ARES) in 1999. Characteristic trials were conducted three times from 2002 to 2004. Newly bred “Pink Giant” have shown pink color (RHS, 65-B), semi-double type, and large flower. It also was in good harmony in ray floret color and flower center color with stable flower shape. The vase life was 19.2 days. The average yield of “Pink Giant” was 45.8 flowers per plant in an year in greenhouse yield trails during 2003 and 2004. This cultivar was registered for a commercialization in 2005. “Pink Giant” would be cultured under greenhouse condition in Korea.

A new yellow gerbera (Gerbera hybrida Hort.) cultivar “Gold Eye” was developed from a cross between “Songsongee” and “White Day” followed by seedling and line selections at the Flower Breeding Research Institute, Gyeongnam Agricultural Research and Extention Services (ARES) in 2001. Characteristic trials were conducted three times from 2003 to 2004. Newly bred “Gold Eye” have shown yellow color (RHS, 55-C), semi-double type, and large flower. It also was in good harmony in ray floret color and flower center color with stable flower shape. The vase life was 10.2 days. The average yield of “Gold Eye” was 48.8 flowers per plant in an year in greenhouse yield trails during 2003 and 2004. This cultivar was registered for a commercialization in 2005. “Gold Eye” would be cultured under greenhouse condition in Korea.

A new sprout-soybean cultivar, “Wonhwang” was developed at the Honam Agricultural Research Institute (HARI) in 2005. Wonhwang was selected from a cross between Camp and Myeongjunamulkong. The preliminary, advanced, and regional yield trials for evaluation and selection of Iksan45 were carried out from 2001 to 2005. This cultivar has a determinate growth habit with purple flower, grayish brown pubescence, grayish brow hilum, lanceolate leaflet shape and small seed size (10.0 grams per 100 seeds). The maturity date of Wonhwang is 7 days earlier than that of the check variety, Pungsan. It has good seed quality for soybean-sprout, and resistance to lodging. It has also been identified to have resistance to soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and necrotic symptom(SMV-N). The average yield of “Wonhwang” was 2.80MT/ha, which was higher by 4% than “Pungsannamulkong” at the regional yield trials.
