This IREC Farmers Newsletter reports on the perfect moleculare markers for fragrance and geliatinisation temperature.  It has been identified that there are difficult to measure certain traits such as fragrance and gelatinization temperature and it molecular markers for these will assist the Australian rice breeding program. With the use of molecular markers a quick DNA analysis methods on tissue from young rice plants can replace labour intensive, time consuming analysis on harvested rice grain.
