ON GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN RICE FOR YIELD CONTRIBUTING TRAITS AND QUALITY PARAMETERS

Breeding rice varieties with preferred grain quality features has become second most important objective next to yield. The grain quality features are important for all people involved in production, processing and consumption. The significance of grain quality varies depending upon the requisites established by the international market, ethnic customs, uses etc. A given community may demand a certain rice quality that would be unacceptable to another. The preferences and tastes of one country differ from those of another country and even within the same country, distinct appreciations of quality may exist.
