We surveyed the distribution, utilization, and conservation of persimmon varieties in Korea in cooperation with Korean scientists from October 12 to 25, 2003. Many local varieties have been distributed throughout the country. They are mostly astringent varieties and were or have been used as over-ripened soft and dried persimmons as in the past in Japan. Persimmons had been a popular fruit crop in home gardens. Over-ripened and dried persimmons of some commercial Korean varieties are commonly sold in markets. Local Korean varieties and some Japanese varieties have been distributed from in northern areas around Seoul and to the southern coastal regions. It is suggested that some local varieties are quite cold-hardy, ripen early, or disease-resistant. About 150 local varieties, including 'Jo hong si,' a non-astringent variety of Korean origin, are conserved and evaluated at the Naju Pear Research Institute (NPRI) of the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI). About 250 varieties have been conserved, and their quality as dried persimmon, cold hardiness, and disease resistance are now being evaluated at the Sangju Persimmon Research Station, which was established in 1995. An agreement was made with NPRI, NHRI on exchanging varieties of Korean and Japanese origin, and 15 Korean varieties were introduced at the National Institute of Fruit Tree Science of Japan in April, 2004.}, pages = {125--143}, title = {大韓民国におけるカキ遺伝資源の探索・調査 (2003年10月11日~10月25日)}, volume = {20}, year = {2004}, yomi = {ヤマダ, マサヒコ and イタムラ, ヒロユキ and タイラ, サトシ} }
