Abstract:
Even though the total planted area of
peach and nectarine trees in South Korea has
increased since the early 1990s, that of early
maturing cultivars has decreased (3,4). In
general, most early maturing cultivars that
ripen during the rainy season have small
fruit size and low sugar content compared
to mid or late maturing cultivars.
Since
'Yumyeong' was bred in 1977 (2) by the
National Horticultural Research Institute
(NHRI), an affiliated institution of the Rural
Development Administration (RDA) in Korea,
the cultivar has been used as a parent for the
development of new early maturing cultivars
with improved fruit size and firmness.
