Chemical composition in the grain of the two elite Thai rice cultivars grown in the net-house pot and open-field production systems.
| Cultivars | Production Systems | Reducing Sugar Content (mg gFW−1) |
Starch Content (mg gFW−1) |
N Content (%) | Protein Content (N × 5.95) (%) |
Amylose Content (%) | Moisture Content (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RD6 | Net-house pot | 0.54 ± 0.02 | 719.73 ± 19.40 | 1.41 ± 0.06 | 8.37 ± 0.33 | 2.15 ± 0.22 | 9.35 ± 0.12 |
| Open-field | 0.63 ± 0.02 * | 743.89 ± 20.60 | 1.30 ± 0.00 | 7.76 ± 0.02 | 1.69 ± 0.09 | 10.73 ± 0.95 | |
| KDML105 | Net-house pot | 0.81 ± 0.08 | 723.47 ± 7.36 | 1.34 ± 0.01 | 7.97 ± 0.07 | 13.15 ± 0.63 | 8.75 ± 0.66 |
| Open-field | 0.95 ± 0.05 | 748.92 ± 10.90 | 1.40 ± 0.05 | 8.31 ± 0.28 | 12.05 ± 0.82 | 8.42 ± 0.34 |
Values are means ± SEM. Means in bold within each column with the * symbol denote statistically significant difference between the two production systems at p ≤ 0.05 by Student’s t-test (n = 4 for reducing sugar, starch, and amylose content analyses; n = 3 for N and protein content analyses).
