Abstract
Cooking properties of rice are influenced mainly by the amount and structure of amylose and amylopectin in the rice grain starch that constitutes the bulk of endosperm. Almost all the genes controlling starch biosynthesis in rice have been sequenced and characterised. Based on the location of various polymorphic regions in these genes/alleles, different PCR based diagnostic tests were developed to identify various allelic combinations in a range of rice lines. Implementation of these simple and robust genetic markers in the rice breeding program will play an important role in accurately predicting the cooking quality traits of crossbreds.
