2004

This project will assist with the development of Australian fragrant rices by: investigating the aroma of new breeding lines, ·          comparing these to imported varieties using both sensory studies and analysis of the volatile components, ·          determining the effect of nitrogen fertiliser level on rice aroma, ·          developing methods for early generation screening of rice fragrance, ·          investigating the biosynthetic and other pathways of volatile component formation. This report summarises investigation of these research areas carried out during this project. 2004, 53pgs, Pub NO. 04/160; $16
