A New Early-Maturing Rice Cultivar with High-Quality, High-Yielding, and Good Milling Properties, ‘Seolemi’

‘Seolemi’, a new japonica rice cultivar developed from a cross between F1 plant derived from the cross between ‘Sangjubyeo’ and ‘Suwon440’, and ‘Sangju22’ having a good eating-quality and lodging resistance, was developed by the rice breeding team of Sangju Substation, NICS, RDA in 2011. This variety has about 120 days growth duration from transplanting to harvesting in southern mid-mountainous area of Korea. It has 73 cm culm length and tolerance to lodging. In reaction to biotic and abiotic stresses, it shows strong resistance to blast, but is susceptible to bacterial blight, virus diseases, and insect pests. The milled rice of ‘Seolemi’ exhibits translucent, relatively clear non-glutinous endosperm and medium short grain. It has a higher milling rate of 77.5% and milled rice recovery of 75.7%, and good palatability of cooked rice compared with ‘Odaebyeo’. The milled rice yield performance of this variety is about 5.60 MT/ha in local adaptability test for three years. ‘Seolemi’ would be adaptable to southern mid-mountainous of South Korea.
