Abstract

The long-grain rice breeding program in the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) has a long history of successfully developing long- and medium-grain as well as specialty rice cultivars for the Arkansas rice producers and the mid-South. Selections and evaluations are strictly conducted based on the desirable characteristics that need to be improved. These important characteristics include high rough rice yield potential, high milling yields, disease resistance, abiotic tolerance, good plant stature, and superior grain quality (i.e., low chalk, processing, cooking, and eating qualities). In 2021, a total of 1,204 entries entered the yield trials of both initial and advance tests for a total of more than 4,000 yield plots, including plots for seed increases. This report presents the overall results of the 2021 breeding program that includes lines from both initial and advance tests as well as potential lines in the pipeline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
