Abstract :Aromatic rice insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Oryza sativa L.); has high quality aroma with cooking quality. This study was carried out in order to select aromatic rice with introduction of nurseries from IRRI insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(International Rice Research Institute); at Trakya Agricultural Research Institute between 1999 to 2004. The materials were tested for primary yield, yield and regional yield trials. As a result of these trials, YRF-204 aromatic rice line was evaluated for yield, yield components, morphological and quality characteristics in registration trials in 2005 and registered as Aromatik-1 in 2007. Aromatik-1 variety has high yield and aromatic characteristics. Aromatik-1 had 13 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(104 days after sowing); and 12 days insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(149 days after sowing); later to flowering and maturity than that of Baldo insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(91 days after sowing); and insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(137 days after sowing);, respectively. Aromatik-1 had 5.11 % more yield than the check cultivar Baldo over means of 5 year experiments from 2000 and 2004, while it had less insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(52 %); head rice yield than that of Baldo insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(55 %);. Although Aromatik-1 rice cultivar is indica type rice, 52 % head rice is very good for this type of rice. Aromatik-1 variety was the first aromatic rice registered in Turkey for yield, some morphological and quality characteristics The present study shows that yield and quality parameters in rice as Aromatic-1 variety could be improved via traditional breeding methods
