Paddy Crop Research Division
Our research focuses on improving the efficiency of paddy crop utilization and developing varieties customized to consumer needs amidst climate change. As such, we actively engage in developing low-carbon green rice, developing/disseminating rice for processing, and studying double cropping systems.

- Introducing gs3 gene (reducing methane emission by 16%) + nitrogen fertilizer reduction by 50% = less methane by 24%
- Published in “Nature Climate Change,” top journal on climate change(IF 30.7)
- Introducing gs3 gene (reducing methane emission by 16%) + nitrogen fertilizer reduction by 50% = less methane by 24%
- Expanding supply of high-quality, processable rice to vitalize the processing industry
- Best quality rice in 2022, Misojinmi
- Tongil-type glutinous rice, Mirchal
- Used to make instant rice and gochujang (red pepper paste), Hanareumchal
- Develop double cropping systems to improve paddy field utilization
- Technical development of the double cropping system for high-quality hard wheat production
- Double cropping cultivation of wheat and soybean enhances wheat protein content, its gluten levels, and processing suitability
- Technical development of the double cropping system for high-quality hard wheat production
- Develop disease/disaster resistant varieties and speed breeding technologies for quick response to consumer demands
- Selection and collection of bakanae disease resistance lines : Milyang 407 (qBK1 + qBK1WD)
- Commercialization of Speed Breeding system for wheat, enabling four generations per year(one of the Top 100 Outstanding Achievements in 2023)
