Abstract:

 Three ancient carbonized unhusked rice and seven carbonized rice grains from wells of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty ruins at Daping Shuangyan in Hunan were morphologically analyzed. The results showed that Shuangyan ancient rice has the features of big grain and many similar morphological characteristics (including bi-peaked tubercles) to japonica rice, indicating that it belongs to the intermediate form between indica and japonica subspecies that is in the amesiality of japonica. Compared with the ancient unhusked rice unearthed from the Neolithic ruins, Shuangyan ancient rice has wider, thicker and heavier grains, tending to japonica characteristics of short and round grain.
