Abstract Amylose content and starch granule size in grains influence rice
quality, which differs between the early (ES) and late season (LS). The objective
of this study was to determine the variation of amylose content and starch
granule size between seasons and find the main reasons (e.g., temperature and
solar radiation) for the observed variation. Field experiments with six rice
varieties (three high and three low amylose content rice) planted in the ES and
LS were conducted in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The mean temperatures
during the filling stage were higher in ES, however, the daily… More >
