ABSTRACT

Grain morphological characteristics were thought to play a significant role in genotypic variation in Fe concentration in white rice. Comparing 17 rice cultivars representing six major grain morphological categories, the present study systematically investigated the relationship between grain morphology, the degree of milling (DOM), and the loss of Fe during the polishing process. The relative importance of key morphological parameters in this relationship was also investigate...

Properties of starches from several low-amylose rice cultivars
Cereal Chemistry ; ABSTRACT The starch properties of five low-amylose rice cultivars, Yawarakomachi, Soft 158, Hanabusa, Aya, and Snow Pearl, were compared with those of two normal amylose rice cultivars, Nipponbare and Hinohikari. There were no large differences in the distributions of the amylopectin chain length
Effect of Growth Location in the United States on Amylose Content, Amylopectin Fine Structure, and Thermal Properties of Starches of Long Grain Rice Cultivars
Cereal Chemistry ; ABSTRACT Starch was isolated from kernels of 27 rice samples consisting of nine U.S. long grain rice cultivars grown in three different locations (Missouri, Arkansas, Texas). Amylose (AM) content of the starches and the fine structure of the respective amylopectin (AP) were determined and used to
Physicochemical properties of starch in extruded rice flours
Cereal Chemistry ; ABSTRACT The effects of extruding temperatures and subsequent drying conditions on X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of long grain (LG) and short grain (SG) rice flours were investigated. The rice flours were extruded in a twin-screw extruder at 70-120 deg
Population structure and breeding patterns of 145 U.S. rice cultivars based on SSR marker analysis.(Crop Breeding, Genetics & Cytology)
Crop Science ; THE DYNAMICS OF genetic diversity and population structure throughout the history of breeding plants for agricultural purposes has been a focus of attention for many crops. Plant breeders use such information to help them better understand their germplasm, guide their breeding plans, and better
A Better Understanding of Factors That Affect the Hardness and Stickiness of Long-Grain Rice
Cereal Chemistry ; ABSTRACT Eight U.S. long-grain rice cultivars were studied for chemical compositions, physicochemical properties, and leaching characteristics in relation to hardness and stickiness of rice flour paste and cooked rice. There were differences in the chemical composition of rice kernels among the
Yield Potential Trends of Tropical Rice since the Release of IR8 and the Challenge of Increasing Rice Yield Potential.(Statistical Data Included)
Crop Science ; GLOBAL RICE PRODUCTION must reach 800 of Tg paddy rice to meet projected demand in 2025, which is 266 Tg more than rice production in 1995 (Table 1). This additional rice must come mainly from irrigated land in Asia because improving rice yields in most rainfed regions is constrained by drought,
Flavor Volatiles of Rice During Cooking Analyzed by Modified Headspace SPME/GC-MS
Cereal Chemistry ; ABSTRACT The flavor volatiles in three Japanese rice cultivars, Nihonbare, Koshihikari, and Akitakomachi, during cooking were directly extracted by using a modified headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 46
Shortcomings Of `Super Rice'
The Washington Post ; The Oct. 24 front-page article on "super rice" described the success of plant breeders in producing a new higher-yielding rice cultivar that should enable world rice production to increase significantly in the coming decades. The article didn't mention a key input into the production of these new
Classifying Paddy Rice by Morphological and Color Features Using Machine Vision
Cereal Chemistry ; ABSTRACT From five paddy rice cultivars grown in Taiwan and harvested in the summers of 1997, 1998, and 1999, five calibrated models were established by backpropagation neural network program through different morphological and color features selection for classifying paddy rice harvested in the
Milling Characteristics of Rice Cultivars and Hybrids
Cereal Chemistry ; ABSTRACT Many rice cultivars and hybrids have unique physical characteristics that affect milling performance. The purpose of this study was to quantify the rate of bran removal during milling for several rice cultivars and hybrids common to the southern United States, and compare the quantity of
