Abstract

Sixty-eight rice varieties were screened for tolerance to accelerated ageing. Seven varieties «BKNLR75091-CNT-B3-RST-40-1-3», «TNAU9039-14», «IR25884-94-3-2», «IR39379-90-2-2-2-2», «Chianung sen yu 13», «MTU5410-14» and «TNAU658» exhibited superior performance. Amylose content and moisture uptake during ageing did not correlate with tolerance to accelerated ageing, whereas lipid content showed negative association. (...)
