Rice production in Myanmar was increase within 30 years due to gradual replacement of traditional varieties by improved varieties together with the farm management practices. Manawthukha is growing more than 20 percent rice growing areas.Most of people like very much because it has intermediate amylose content, high yield and acceptable grain quality. But it has non aromatic gene. Statement of problem Manawthukha is locational acceptable variety.If it has aroma and good taste character than the parent line ,we can expect to produce for the export.
