Abstract: The appearance quality of 33 indica rice varieties which tested in the regional trial of rice varieties in Hubei province from 2015 to 2016 was analyzed. The average chalky rice rate and chalkiness degree of the varieties in 2016 increased by 25.5 percentage point and 101.72% compared with that in 2015,respectively, indicating that the high temperature during rice filling and seed-setting stages in 2016 resulted in a significant increase in the chalky rice rate and chalkiness degree of rice. It is suggested that non-allele heat-tolerant QTLs should be pyramided by molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) to breed heat-tolerant varieties, and that the sowing date of middle-season rice should be delayed to ensure that the grain filling and seed-setting stages of rice are under suitable temperature conditions.

Key words: rice (Oryza sativa L.), high temperature, chalkiness, molecular marker-assisted selection
