Abstract

On the cover

Appearance quality of polished rice grain ripened under low- and high-temperature conditions. Although the appearance quality of ‘Koshihikari’ deteriorates under high-temperature conditions because of increased chalky grain (darkened parts), Apq1-NIL maintains a low rate of chalky grain (This issue, p. 336–342).
