Abstract

The study was developed in �??Los Palacios�?� Rice
Research Station, where 33 types of red rice were seeded in
pots. They were collected in enterprises and small farmer�??s
areas in Pinar del Río province and J-104 cv was used as check,
with the objective to identify and classify the materials under
study. Morphological variables were evaluated, whose data
were processed by multivariate analysis methods and biotypes
classified in 27 classes. This classification permitted to arrange
four essential red rice groups: �??varietales�?�, �??pipones�?�, �??barbudos�?�
and �??rayones�?�. Also, they were divided into subgroups.
Some of the most important characteristics of each of them are
presented.
