Two varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.), Pokkali (salt-tolerant) and IR5929-12-3 (salt-sensitive), were grown in media of varying ionic composition namely chloride-sulphate (with sulphate dominant), sulphate-chloride (with chloride dominant) and chloride. Each salinity type had four different levels (expressed as electrical conductance) 2, 4, 6 and 8 dS m−1. Amylose content of the endosperm, gelatinization temperature of the endosperm starch, brown rice protein content and the Na content of the hull and milled rice showed that different salinity types affect these characteristics differently. The greater Na accumulation in the hull than in the milled rice in both varieties is presumed to be an adaptive response to salinity.
