Basmati rice cultivars have their origin in India and Pakistan. They are characterized by long slender grain, strong aroma, and intermediate amylose content. Amylose content (AC) is one of the grain quality characters that vary from country to country. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of Philippine conditions on the AC of nine introduced Basmati rice cultivars that were planted in the experimental field at Central Luzon State University, Nueva Ecija during the wet season of 2001. Percent AC was determined using an Autoanalyzer following the method developed by Juliano (1971) with modifications. Results indicated that eight of the nine cultivars had low AC while only one had intermediate amylose content
