‘Shingil (Milyang317)’, Tongil-Type Variety Specialized for Rice Flour

‘Shingil’ was developed as a processing rice for specialization as a rice flour by means of mutation breeding from ‘Hanareum’ MNU (N-methyl N-nitrosourea) treatment. The bulk population was displayed from M1 to M6, followed by pedigree methods from M7, where line selection was carried out based on the amylose content, with opacity in the endosperm. The result was that ‘Milyang317’, which has a somewhat high amylose content as well as a high ratio of starch opacity, was selected and named as ‘Shingil’ in 2017. ‘Shingil’ is a mid-maturing ecotype with a heading date of August 10, showing resistance to both leaf/panicle blast and rice stripe virus (RSV), but susceptibility to Bph. ‘Shingil’ showed a low viviparous germination rate of 5.2%. The yield capacity of ‘Shingil’ was 745kg/10a over two years based on a regional yield test. The amylose content of ‘Shingil’ is 23.4% with the grain showing opacity in most parts of the endosperm, which is caused by the round particle shape, unlike the polygonal shape of ordinary grains. Thus, ‘Shingil’ could be used as a rice flour source in various processing field and dry milling industries where milling costs could be saved (Registration No. 8019).
