The change of glutelin contents in rice grain during the maturity period was investigated to determine optimum rice harvesting time. The glutelin content was increased with increasing time after heading. In this study, eight of glutelin subunits were found. Among the glutelin subunits, 7208-subunit (MW, 35 kD) contents was significantly increased at 65 days after heading compared with 55 and 60 days after heading. 7405-subunit (MW, 50 kD) contents was steadily increased with time after heading. The results showed that at 55th day after heading would be optimum time for harvest to get the low glutelin content of rice grain.
