Commingling of rice cultivars commonly occurs during harvest, drying, and storage operations. As different cultivars often have different functional properties, there is a need to study the impact of commingling on these properties. Two long-grain, hybrid cultivars, Clearfield (CL) XL745 and CLXL729, and two long-grain, pure-line cultivars, CL151 and Wells, were used to prepare hybrid/pure-line...

PURPOSE Carbohydrates are shown to have an important role in blood glucose control, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases risk. This is even more challenging when considering populations consuming refined grains diets. Bread and rice are staple foods which supply main proportion of Iranian calorie intake. This study was designed to investigate the effect of bread and rice intake on blood ...

A more efficient water use system is needed for agriculture. This is more evidence for rice production with a higher water use for economical production. A large cultivar×water regime interaction exists for grain yield in rice. Therefore, information is required to adopt new rice cultivars with high yield potential under water-saving conditions. The objectives of this study were to analyze the ...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the response of six upland rice cultivars from East Kalimantan over different plant spacing. The experiment was conducted at Kutai Kartanegara district in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The experimental design used was the factorial experiment in Randomized Completely Block Design (RCDB) with three replications. The first factor was six upland rice cu...

The genomic nucleotide sequences of japonica rice (Sasanishiki and Nipponbare) contained about 2.7-kb unique region at the point of 0.4-kb upstream of the OsPsbS1 gene. In this study, we found that japonica rice with a few exceptions possessing such DNA sequences [denoted to OsMULE-japonica specific sequence (JSS)] is distinct by the presence of Mutator-like-element (MULE). Such sequence was ab...

A hydroponic trial was carried out to investigate the effect of molybdenum (Mo) on uptake of phosphorus (P) in different rice cultivars. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete-block design, with a split-plot arrangement of treatments and three replications. Four rates of Mo (0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg L) and five cultivars (MR219, HASHEMI, MR232, FAJRE and MR253) provided the main ...

Most rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars grown in the United States were selected for endosperm starch properties and not soluble sugar content. The minor pool of soluble sugar may affect the qualities of rice as a food. Some cultivar variation in soluble sugar content was detected in milled grain, essentially the starchy endosperm, of long grain varieties. Milled grain of cultivars Lemont and Tex...

Background The lineage AB11047(Oryza sativa L.), developed by the rice breeding program of Embrapa, has a 126-day biological cycle, large grains with high ratio starch/husk and high productivity. It is resistant to the main rice diseases and degrain. Produces an average weight of 52g, while the majority of irrigated rice cultivars presents an average weight of 25g. This lineage represents a new...

Mounting evidence has made it clear that increasing nighttime air temperatures contribute to decreased head rice yields and decreased grain quality due to chalkiness and altered physicochemical properties. Our goal is to determine some of the fundamental changes that occur in developing rice kernels as they respond to high air temperatures, especially at night. Panicles collected from field-gro...
