Identification and Evaluation of Rice Quality of New Rice Varieties in Fujian Province
In order to accurately understand and grasp the rice quality status of rice varieties compared in Fujian Province,the rice quality of rice varieties compared in Fujian Province from 2021 to 2023 was identified and evaluated.The results showed that the four grading indicators of indica rice,including transparency,amylose content,gel consistency,and whole head rice rate,had high quality rates.However,the overall quality rate was still relatively low,especially with very few high-quality rice varieties that reached the first-class level awarded by the Ministry.The quality rate of chalkiness is still the lowest among the six grading indicators,while the alkali consumption value is the quality indicator that limits the quality rate only after chalkiness.Therefore,in order to improve the quality rate of indica rice varieties,chalkiness and alkaline digestibility are key indicators that should be considered for improvement in future indica rice breeding.
