중만생 저아밀로스 가공용 벼 ‘미호 (밀양300호)’

‘Miho’ (Milyang300), a Mid to Late Low-Amylose Variety of Processed Rice

‘Miho’ (Milyang300) was developed as a processing rice by means of pedigree selection. ‘Milyang300’ has slightly opaque seedswith low amylose content (11.2%), unlike cultivars such as Baegjinju and Milky-queen, which have seeds with low amylose but are opaque. ‘Milyang300’ was selected and named ‘Miho’ in 2016. ‘Miho’ is a late-maturing ecotype with an average heading date of August 21st. Itshows mild resistance to leaf blast and strong resistance to rice stripe virus, and bacterial blight (K1-K3); however, it is susceptible to brownplant hopper infestation. The yield capacity of ‘Miho’ determined over 3 years of regional yield trials was 565 kg/10 a. In terms of processingproperties, ‘Miho’ shows no significant differences in textural properties when stored for 6-48 h at 3℃ and -18℃. Moreover, the physicalproperties of ‘Miho’ remain unaltered during freeze-thaw processes. Thus, the low-amylose rice ‘Miho’ may be suitable for the productionof refrigerated and frozen cooked rice (Registration No. 7656).
