Low Amylose Rice Cultivars Without Nitrogen Fertilizer Improve Eating Quality.
Nitrogen fertilizer affects the quality of rice grains and starch properties. Low amylose rice cultivars have better taste due to lower amylose and protein content, and improved stickiness and viscosity. Nitrogen fertilizer increases grain yield but decreases grain weight and quality. Low amylose rice grown without nitrogen fertilizer is the best choice for tastier cooked rice.
