“…With the rapid development of modern science and technology, various high and new technologies are continuously applied to the detection and improvement of rice grain quality to make up for the inadequacies of traditional detection and analysis methods. In addition to the above mentioned high-tech technologies (such as high-throughput sequencing, genome editing technology, NIRS technology and SEM technology), there are also some high-tech technologies have been used for genetic improvement of rice grain quality, such as electronic nose detection technology, computer vision technology, texture analysis technology, differential scanning calorimetry technology and so on (Jin et al, 2015;Xu et al, 2014;Park et al, 2012;Parnsakhorn et al, 2012;Zheng et al, 2009;Roberto et al, 2006;Zhou et al, 2010;Yu et al, 2009;Thorpe et al, 2010). Electronic nose detection technology could rapidly detect and analyze odor molecules in rice grains based on the contact of odor molecules with metal oxides or biofilms (Zheng et al, 2009).…”
