Evaluation of Rice Quality Storage Stability: From Variety Screening to Trait Identification.

ABSTRACT: Rice, a staple global food crop, requires the maintenance of its quality stability during storage. This study aimed to screen rice varieties with high storage stability and elucidate their traits. Thirty-four widely cultivated varieties were selected to examine the changes in grain quality after one-year natural storage. The normalization method, hierarchical analysis, and cluster analysis were used to identify rice varieties maintaining their grain quality during storage. Meanwhile, the yield and its components, panicle traits, grain size, grain major component content, physiological indicators (such as antioxidant enzyme activity), and key growth stages were analyzed at rice maturity. The results showed that the processing, appearance, and eating quality of rice declined after storage. S
