Abstract Long grain geng/japonica rice has a higher market preference due its excellent appearance quality. The dense and erect-panicle 1 ( dep1 ) gene been widely used in the breeding of high-yielding cultivars China. However, this causes short round shape thus making it less attractive global markets. Therefore, long-grain by incorporating with major-effect is high priority industry. Up to no...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in rainfed marginal environments is prone to multiple abiotic and biotic stresses, which can occur combination a single cropping season adversely affect rice growth yield. The present study was undertaken develop high-yielding, climate-resilient that provide tolerance stresses. An assembled first-crossing scheme employed transfer 15 quantitative trait loci (QTL) genes—qDT...

Cereal Chem. 79(3):465–469 The structural features of rice starch that may contribute to differences in the functionality of three long-grain rice cultivars were studied. Dried rough rice samples of cultivars Cypress, Drew, and Wells were analyzed for milling quality, grain physical attributes, and starch structures and physicochemical properties. Drew was lower in head rice yield and transluce...
