Abstract

A new single cross hybrid, 'Guseulok', is a bicolor sweet corn (Zea mays L.) developed by the maize breeding team at the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), RDA in 2009. This hybrid, which has a good eating quality and high sugar content, was produced by crossing two inbred lines, KSE19 and KSE7. KSE19 was the seed parent and KSE7 was the pollen parent of 'Guseulok'. Ear length and diameter of 'Guseulok' were 18.0 cm and 4.6 cm, respectively. The ratio of kernel set length/ear length was 90%, similar with that of a check hybrid, 'Golden Cross Bantam70' (GCB70). However, the free sugar content was 20.5%, higher than 'GCB70', 14.0%. It is resistant to Bipolaris maydis (Southern corn leaf blight) and its lodging resistance is excellent. The yields of 'Guseulok' in fresh ear weight were similar with those of GCB70 in regional yield trials (RYT) from 2007 to 2009. Seed production of this hybrid has gone well due to good match during crossing between the seed and pollen parents. It is adaptable to the whole country. Plant variety protection right of 'Guseulok' was registered in January 2013, and its grant number is 4322.

'구슬옥'(수원단55호)은 자식계통 KSE19를 종자친으로 하고 KSE7를 화분친으로 하여 교잡된 단옥수수 단교잡종으로 Sugary enhancer (se) 인자를 가지고 있어 당도가 높고 옥수수 립의 색은 흰색과 노란색, 두 가지색을 나타낸다. '구슬옥'은 2005년 생산력검정시험을 거쳐, 2007년부터 2009년까지 3년 동안 전국 5개 지역에서 지역적응시험을 실시한 결과 그 우수성이 인정되어 2009년 농작물 직무육성 신품종으로 결정되었다. '구슬옥'의 출사일수는 65일로 조생종에 속하며 이삭길이가 18.0 cm로 대조군인 'GCB70'과 비슷하다. '구슬옥'은 당도가 20.5%로 'GCB70'보다 높으며 경도가 낮아 씹힘성이 부드러우며 전체적 기호도가 우수하였다. '구슬옥'은 깨씨무늬병, 조명나방, 도복에 강하였다. '구슬옥'의 ha당 이삭수는 'GCB70'보다 많지만 이삭중은 비슷하였다. '구슬옥'의 모본 출사기와 부본의 화분 비산기간이 잘 일치하였으며 채종량은 재식비율 모, 부본 2:1에서 1.39 ton/ha, 3:1에서 1.43ton/ha이였다.
