Historically, humans have created many sustainable practices, and among the most famous and successful sustainable practice is the rice–fish system in China. While previous studies have investigated eco-labeling food from various angles, consumer perception and preference of food produced from traditional sustainable practices (traditional sustainable food) remain unexplored. Taking the histori...

The effect of draining crop fields during the wheat season on the soil CH4 andN2O emissions during the rice season in this article. There were four treatments:traditional cultivation during the wheat season + cultivation without fertilizationduring the rice season (CK1 field), traditional cultivation during the wheat season +traditional cultivation during the rice season (CK2 field), draining t...

the objective of this study was to examine the effects of the fluidized-bed drying me-thod on the final quality of two varieties of iranian rice, medium- and long grain. the re-sults were compared to that of paddy drying using a traditional method. rough rice was treated in the fluidized bed drier at 140ºc for 2 minutes. similar samples were dried for 8-10 hrs by the traditional method. dried s...

objective: methanol extract of bran and unpolished grain of two traditional aromatic rice genotypes viz. kalijira and chinigura were assayed for their activity on the growth and initiation of crown-gall tumors on potato disks. materials and methods: three agrobacterium tumefaciens (a. tumefaciens) strain atsl0105, atta0112, and atac0114 were used as the tumor forming agent. collected rice was s...

BACKGROUND Around the world, beans and rice are commonly consumed together as a meal. With type 2 diabetes increasing, the effect of this traditional diet pattern on glycemic response has not been studied fully. METHODS We evaluated the glycemic response of bean and rice traditional meals compared to rice alone in adults with type 2 diabetes. Seventeen men and women with type 2 diabetes contr...

Because rice feeds half of the world's population, a secure global food supply depends on sustainable rice production. Here we test whether the co-cultivation of rice and fish into one "rice-fish system" (RFS; fish refers to aquatic animals in this article) could help sustain rice production. We examined intensive and traditional RFSs that have been widely practiced in China. We found that rice...

The characterization of genetic divergence and relationships of a set of germplasm is essential for its efficient applications in crop breeding and understanding of the origin/evolution of crop varieties from a given geographical region. As the largest rice producing country in Europe, Italy holds rice germplasm with abundant genetic diversity. Although Italian rice varieties and the traditiona...

A Fourier descriptor is one of the best methods for describing object boundaries, but there are limitations in describing the boundary of rice kernels using traditional Fourier descriptors. An innovative approach was developed to describe rice kernel boundaries by improving a traditional Fourier descriptor. This radius Fourier descriptor (RFD) uses a radius set for rice kernel images as its bas...
