Abstract
A new naked oat cultivar 'Choyang' (Avena sativa L.) was developed by the breeding team at the Department of Rice and Winter Cereal Crop, NICS, RDA in 2007. It was derived from a cross between 'Sikyonggwiri' and 'Gwiri23'. The cultivar, Sikyonggwiri is early heading while the breeding line Gwiri23 has a high yielding potential with large-size grain. Bulk method combined with pedigree selection program was employed in subsequent generations, and the promising line SO96025-B-303-44-2-5 was selected for agronomic performance in 2002. The line showed both high yield and good husking rate of seed in the Yield Trial tested at Suwon in 2003 to 2004, and was subsequently designated as 'Gwiri57'. Gwiri57 was evaluated for winter hardiness, earliness, and yield in four locations, Gimje, Iksan, Jeongeup and Jinju from 2005 to 2007 and was released as Choyang. Choyang headed 11 days earlier and matured 5 days earlier than the check cultivar 'Sunyang' in the paddy field condition. The new cultivar Choyang had 97 cm of culm length and 23.4 cm of spike length, 658 spikes per $m^2$, 75 grains per spike, 28.8 g of 1,000-grain weight, and 636 g of test weight. Choyang showed better winter hardiness than that of the check cultivar Sunyang, and similar seed quality to the check cultivar in respect to crude protein (12.9%) and ${\beta}$-glucan content (4.7%). However, it showed higher husking rate than the check cultivar. The grain yield of Choyang in the regional yield trial for 3 consecutive years was averaged $4.67MT\;ha^{-1}$, which was 38% higher than that of the check cultivar Sunyang. Choyang is recommended for the fall sowing cropping only in the southern area where daily minimum mean temperatures are averaged higher than $-4^{\circ}C$ in January, and is not recommended the in mountain area where frost damage is presumable.
'조양'은 우리나라에서 재배가 가능한 조숙 양질 다수성 쌀귀리 품종을 육성하고자 1996년에 조숙성인 '식용귀리'를 모본으로 조숙 대립 겉귀리 계통인 '귀리23호'를 부본으로 인공교배를 하여 계통육종법에 의해 선발된 'SO96025-B-303-44-2-5' 계통이다. 이 계통은 2003년부터 생산력검정시험을 거쳐 계통명이 '귀리57호'로 명명되었고, 2005년부터 지역적응시험을 거쳐 207년에 육성된 품종이며, 그 특성은 다음과 같다. 1. '조양'은 잎색이 농녹색이고 잎폭은 중간 정도이며, 이삭형은 산수형이고, 종실은 길고 담황색이다. 2. '조양'의 출수기는 재배지 3개년 평균 4월 28일로서, 기존에 육성된 선양에 비해 11일 빨랐으며, 지역적응시험에서의 평균 종실 수량은 4,670 kg/ha으로 표준품종인 '선양'보다 38% 많았다. 4. '조양'은 '선양'에 비해 탈부율과 조단백질 함량이 12.9%로 높고, 베타글루캔 함량은 4.7%로서 표준품종인 '선양'과 비슷하였다.
