摘要:Fifty five traditional rice varieties of West Bengal, mostly from the lateritic region, were investigated for grain morphological characters. A wide variation of grain characters, like gain size and shape, anthocyanin colouration of lemma-palea and kernel, presence or absence of aroma, awning characteristics, ware found among the studied varieties. Wide variation among the grain morphological characters indicated wide genetic variation present among these varieties, which may be utilized for the selection of the parents for the plant breeding and production of new improved variety.
