Some scented rice genotypes were evaluated for their quality characteristics. The study revealed that Milagrosa, Gopalbhog, Begami 2–8, Gourab and Type-3 are good donors for good kernel length with some other desired quality characteristics. It is possible to produce long slender scented rice with desired quality characteristics by hybridization or by pyrimiding of genes from the above varieties.
