Amylose content (AC) and grain appearance traits of rice ( Oryza sativa L.) represent a major problem of rice marketing in many rice producing areas in the world. In Uganda, cooking, eating and appearance qualities remain undefined in the rice breeding programme. The objective this study was to determine amylose content of rice genotypes, and its relationship with grain appearance traits; and mode of its inheritance in selected rice genotypes. Forty genotypes were planted in two seasons (2015B and 2016A), in alpha lattice design at National Crop Resource Research Institute in Uganda. Seven parents, involving 3 low and 4 intermediate amylose content genotypes selected in 2015B season,were crossed in a half diallel,and the F1 were advanced ...
