It should preferably be distributed in the proportions indicated against rice, bread, wheat flour, etc. in the different diet scales. (ii) Undermilled rice a ,, wholemeal bread sho be used in. place of nil and/or polished...

The lychee is, all over the world, considered as the “queen of the fruits” due to the delicacy of its appearance and flavor. Although it was only recently that it started to have economical importance in Brazil, the lychee is already calling the attention of numerous farmers, mainly those who cultivate citric fruits and/or sugarcane in the State of São Paulo, due to the constant and at the same...

Two distinct heat labile factors (I and II) were found to be required for the in vitro synthesis of polyphenylalanine by rice ribosomes (Oryza sativa var. Bluebonnct) and polyuridylic acid. These factors were present in both the crude supernatant and on crude ribosomes. Factor I was removed from the crude ribosomes by [ill] (0.6%), while factor II was eliminated from deoxycholate washed ribosom...

rice plant is one of the most important and strategic agricultural product with having highest cultivation area after wheat in the world. several factors including plant pathogenic fungi are causing agents of quantitative and qualitative losses in this plant. brown spot is an important seed borne disease of rice that caused by different species of bipolaris. brown spots observed on infected gra...

The origin and spread of novel agronomic traits during crop domestication are complex events in plant evolution. Wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) has red grains due to the accumulation of proanthocyanidins, whereas most cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) varieties have white grains induced by a defective allele in the Rc basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) gene. Although the events surrounding the origin and ...

Objectives To summarise evidence on the association between white rice consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes and to quantify the potential dose-response relation. Design Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. Data sources Searches of Medline and Embase databases for articles published up to January 2012 using keywords that included both rice intake and diabetes; further searches of refe...

We developed a multilayered screening method that integrates both genome and transcriptome data to effectively identify regulatory genes in rice (Oryza sativa). We tested our method using eight rice accessions that differed in three important nutritional and agricultural traits, anthocyanin biosynthesis, amylose content, and heading date. In the genome resequencing of eight rice accessions with...
