Examination, in 1985 and 1986, of the quality characteristics of 36 and 19 cultivars grown in North-Huai Plain and Mid-Lower Yangtze Region respectively showed that the means of vitreousness, 1000 kernel weight, protein and wet gluten content of the cultivars of North-Huai Plain were significantly higher than those of Mid-Lower Yangtze Region. Test weight and specific gravity were significantly positively correlated with protein content, sedimentation value, major parameters from farinogram of flour and steamed bread quality. Steamed bread quality was significantly positively correlated with protein content, sedimentation value, water absorption and valorimeter value. It was suggested that vitreousness, test weight and specific gravity of kernel, and protein content and sedimentation value should be increased for quality improvement in these two regions
