Abstract

High moisture rice was harvested from border rows of breeding plots. Samples of the rough rice were dried in an environmentally controlled laboratory at 21C (70F) and 54% RH (relative humidity). Grains were then randomly selected from given lots and exposed to a 100% RH environment at 24C (75F) for 30 h. Fissured grains were counted and varieties were aligned according to their potential to fissure on a scale of 0 to 100. The results showed that GuiChow, a medium grain variety, was the most susceptible to fissure (100%) and Rexmont, a long grain variety, was the least susceptible (28.6%).
