ABSTRACT
A significant reduction in total soluble, reducing and non-reducing sugar contents was observed in Sarocladium oryzae infected rice grains and it was to the maximum extent in the infected grains of CO 43 and ADT 36. The infected grains of different rice cultivars showed increase in total phenol content ranging from 29.20 to 56.11 per cent. The starch and total protein contents in the infected grains of various rice cultivars decreased as compared to that in the healthy grains of the respective rice cultivars.
Key words :
Biochemical changes, Rice sheath rot, Sarocladium oryzae.
