The cDNA encoding the 326 amino acids of a Class I basic chitinase gene from Leucaena leucocephala de Wit (KB3, Genbank accession: AAM49597) was cloned under the control of CaMV35S promoter in pCAMBIA 1300 and transferred to Koshihikari. Calli of Koshihikari rice was transformed with agrobacterium with this construct expressing the chitinase and βglucouronidase (GUS). The frequencies of calli 9...

Rice is predominantly a starch richendosperm portionof paddy (Oryza sativa). It is an important cereal used as staple food by over half of the world population. About 90% of dry matter of milled rice is starch and the rest are non-starch components like protein, lipids and ash. Most of the rice based products in Indian sub continent especially in southern part of India are made from rice flour ...

To investigate the detection of rice exterior quality, a machine vision system was developed. The main characteristics of rice appearance including area, perimeter, roughness and minimum enclosing rectangle were calculated by image analysis. Least Squares Support Vector Machines, Naive Bayes Classifier and Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network were applied to achieve classification of head...

The paper summarize that moisture sensor based on microstrip patch antenna. Microstrip patch sensors have become useful and widely used in every fields such as agricultures, industrials, food products, medicals communication etc. It have been more useful for detecting i.e., broken rice detection, Impurities detection in water, Soil moisture measurement, Rice Grain moisture, Rice quality detecti...

16 Background: Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that storage of cooked rice at 17 4 °C for 24 h and reheating to 65 °C significantly reduced starch digestibility and postprandial 18 glycaemic responses. Moreover, the effect was greater for parboiled rice compared to other rice 19 varieties commonly consumed in New Zealand. This study aimed to evaluate consumer preferences...

Kit Fine (2007) argues that Frege’s puzzle and its relatives demonstrate a need for a basic reorientation of the field of semantics. According to this reorientation, the domain of semantic facts would be closed not under the classical consequence relation but only under a stronger relation Fine calls “manifest consequence.” I examine Fine’s informally sketched analyses of manifest consequence, ...

(i) The quality of the rice, as judged by the fineness of the grain. (ii) The process through which the rice grain has passed in its removal from the paddy. (in) The digestibility of the rice?from seasoning. (iv) Its vitamine content. With regard to quality, the best rice is transplanted rice, reaped during the winter months?the avian crop. Grain of the aus crop is coarse and not of good qualit...

Rice acreage estimation is a key aspect to guarantee food security and also important to support government agricultural subsidy system. In this paper, we explored a sophisticated method to improve rice estimation accuracy at county scale and we developed our approach with China Environment Satellite HJ-1A/B data in Hunan Province, a fragmented area with complex rice cropping patterns. Our appr...
