Abstract
To ascertin one of the morphological characters of glutinous and non-glutinuons grains, the thickness of grains was measured, using as material the both kinds of grains in F1 plant. When glutinous grains were desicated, their appearance turns to milky white and shrinks about 2% more than starchy ones. This difference seems to be due to difference of Amylose and Amylopectin content in endosperm of their genotypes.
