优质适口性稻谷品种的选育,不象抗性育种那样能够进行幼苗鉴定和个体鉴定而迅速收效使得育种家们倍感困难。现行的方法是,将一定量的精米用电汽锅炊煮,再由数名有经验的鉴定者实际品尝评定。这虽说是最有说服力的终审裁决,但该方法完全依赖当事者的味觉, Breeding of high-quality palatability rice varieties, unlike resistant breeding, allows for seedling identification and individual identification to be rapidly effected, making it more difficult for breeders. The current method is to cook a certain amount of polished rice with electric steam cooker and then evaluate the actual tasting by several experienced experts. Although this is the most persuasive final ruling, this method is totally dependent on the tastes of the parties involved.
