A New Medium-Maturing, "Gangbaek" with Resistance to Bacterial Blight

'Gangbaek' is a japonica rice variety developed and registered by the rice breeding team of Department of Rice and Winter Cereal Crop, NICS, RDA in 2006. 'Gangbaek' was derived from a cross between 'Suweon345' with good grain quality and 'DV85' resistant to bacterial blight, $K_{3a}$. $F_1$ plants were grown in the greenhouse in winter of 1992/1993 and backcrossed with 'Suweon345' as the recurrent parent. Plants resistant to $K_{3a}$ race of bacterial blight (BB) were selected from $BC_1F_1$ to $BC_4F_1$ and used as parents in the backcrossing processes. This variety has about 120 days growth duration from transplanting to harvesting in west-southern coast and Honam plain of Korea. It is about 69 cm in culm length and tolerance to lodging. In reaction to biotic and abiotic stresses, it shows moderately resistance to blast, and resistance to bacterial blight pathogen, $K_1$, $K_2$, $K_3$ and $K_{3a}$, but susceptible to other major diseases and insect pests. The milled rice of 'Gangbaek' exhibits translucent, relatively clear non-glutinous endosperm and midium short grain. It has lower amylose content of 18.6% and protein content of 6.4% compared with 'Nampyeongbyeo'. The milled rice yield performance of this variety is about 5.28 MT/ha in local adaptability test for three years. This cultivar would be adaptable to the bacterial blight-prone area in the south-western coastal and Honam plain of Korea.

벼 중생 흰잎마름병 저항성 신품종 "강백"

'강백'은 국립식량과학원 벼맥류부에서 2006년도에 육성한 벼흰잎마름병 $K_{3a}$에 저항성인 국내 최초 품종으로 주요특성과 수량성을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. '강백'의 평균 출수기는 8월 11일로 '남평벼'보다 4일 빠른 중생종이다. 2. 주당수수, 수당립수, 등숙비율 및 정현비율은 '남평벼'와 비슷하며 현미천립중은 다소 가벼운 중립종이다. 3. 심복백은 거의 없고 '남평벼' 수준으로 맑고 투명하며 도정율, 아밀로스 및 단백질함량은 '남평벼'와 비슷하며 밥맛은 떨어지는 편이다. 4. 도열병은 중도저항성을 보였으며 흰잎마름병 $K_1{\sim}K_3$ 및 새로운 변이균 $K_{3a}$에 저항성인 국내 최초 자포니카 품종이나 줄무늬잎마름병, 오갈병 및 검은줄오갈병에는 약하고, 충에 대한 저항성은 없다. 5. '강백'의 쌀수량은 보통기 표준재배에서 5.28MT/ha으로 '남평벼'보다 7% 낮은 수량을 보였고 이모작재배에서 4.01 MT/ha, 만식재배에서는 4.34MT/ha의 수량을 보였다.
