Colored rice is the type of rice wich pigments deposited in their grain pericarp, red rice and purple rice are the two most common types of it．It is rich in the essential component of human nutrition, such as protein, amino acid ,fats, fiber and minerals et al, it was grown and consumed in china with a long historiy. Proanthocyanidins is the major flavonoids of the red rice, the red pericarp characteristic of rice is dominant over that of white pericarp.The red pericarp were controlled by two genes(Rc／rc and Rd／rd), Rc gene was mapped on chromosome7, and Rd gene was mapped on chromosome1．It was reported that a 14bp deletion within the exon 6 of the Rc gene caused the mutation from red to white color of pericarp．Anthocyanins is the major flavonoids of the purple rice,the purple pericarp characteristic of rice is dominant over that of white pericarp. The purple pericarp were controlled by two genes. Pb gene was mapped on chromosome 4, and Pa gene was mapped on chromosome 1,respectively．
