Abstract Eating quality is of paramount importance to rice (Oryza sativa L.)
consumers and soft rice with low amylose content has become popular in China.
This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of soft rice grown in the
early season (ES) dominated by non-soft rice. Field experiments were conducted
in Yongan and Santang, Hunan Province, China from 2016-2018. Results
showed that grain amylose content in soft rice cultivars was consistently lower in
the ES compared to the late season (LS). The lower grain amylose content in the
ES compared to the LS was partly attributed to More >
