The relationships among grain quality traits alkali spreading value (ASV), amylose content (AC), gel consistency (GC), kernel length (KL), kernel breadth (KB), length-breadth ratio(LB), kernel length after cooking (KLAC) and elongation ratio (ER) of 100 genotypes and the relationships between these grain quality traits and mineral element iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) were investigated. The results showed that there were significant correlations among most of grain quality traits. Grain quality parameter ASV was found to be significantly correlated related to GC, KB, KLAC and ER whereas negatively related to AC, KL and LB. Grain Fe and Zn was found to be positively related to ASV, KB and ER. On the other hand grain Fe and Zn were negatively related to AC, GC, KL and LB. KLAC was found to be positively related to grain Fe and negatively related to grain Zn. The relationships between mineral element were also found to significantly correlated.
