Relationship of milled grain percentages and flowering-related traits in rice

Adaptive Value of Phenological Traits in Stressful Environments: Predictions Based on Seed Production and Laboratory Natural Selection

“…The 160 RILs were phenotyped for seed production (FITNESS) and seven phenological traits spanning the life cycle of A. thaliana : germination timing (GERM), bolting time (BT), time to anthesis (ANT), interval between bolting and anthesis (INT), flowering (FLO), reproductive period duration (RP), flowering-to-reproductive period ratio (FRR = FLO/RP). FRR may indicate a trade-off between seed number and seed quality [38] , [39] . Low FRR would indicate that seed quality is favored, while high FRR would indicate that seed number is favored.…”

“…Natural variation for flowering has also been observed in selfing species suggesting that ecological factors, such as herbivory [32] , pre-dispersal seed predation [31] , [33] , or seasonal variation in the likelihood of seed dispersion [23] , may be selective agents that act on flowering. Often referred to as seed-fill duration in crop species [34] , [35] , [36] , the duration of the reproductive period, i.e., the time elapsed from anthesis to the maturity of all fruits, is related to the number and quality of seeds [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] . Seed number is often used as a proxy for female fitness and seed quality is known to influence seedling establishment [33] , [40] .…”

Review on Parameters Influencing the Rice Breakage and Rubber Roll Wear in Sheller

“…Duration of flowering, rate of flowering, heading, duration from heading to maturity on head rice, and total milling percentage of rice are considered as a parameter to obtain a good quality on grains during milling. It is evident that more flowering days were favorable in increasing head rice and total milled grains with high quality [4]. Bold grained rice, IR-36 rice varieties are milled using friction laboratory mill.…”

Mapping and Validation of Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Tiller Production in Rice

“…Later study indicated that panicle yield was directly associated with time of tiller emergence rather than tiller location, in that early-emerging secondary tillers produced higher-yielding panicles than did primary tillers that emerged later in time (Mohapatra and Kariali, 2008). In addition to increasing grain yield, early tillering is desired for its association with improved grain quality (Counce et al, 1996;Wang et al, 2007;Tabien et al, 2009) and for development of weed-suppressing shade before the application of permanent flood, after which root pruning by water weevil larvae is known to restrict tiller production (Zou et al, 2004). In addition to increasing grain yield, early tillering is desired for its association with improved grain quality (Counce et al, 1996;Wang et al, 2007;Tabien et al, 2009) and for development of weed-suppressing shade before the application of permanent flood, after which root pruning by water weevil larvae is known to restrict tiller production (Zou et al, 2004).…”

“…Genetic differences in overall seedling growth rate have also been found important, with rapid production of nodes during the early vegetative stage of field grown rice plants being associated with increased maximum TN, panicle number, and mass per panicle (Samonte et al, 2006). In addition to increasing grain yield, early tillering is desired for its association with improved grain quality (Counce et al, 1996;Wang et al, 2007;Tabien et al, 2009) and for development of weed-suppressing shade before the application of permanent flood, after which root pruning by water weevil larvae is known to restrict tiller production (Zou et al, 2004).…”
