Two of these attributes such as hardness and stickiness are typically indicated in grain quality evaluation programs by the amylose content of rice. However, the association of amylose content with two other te
leading to substantially enhanced grain yield per plant. Mechanistic studies revealed that the deleted fragment is a target site for the transcription factor An-1 to repressIPA1expression in panicles and roots. Targeting gene regulatory regions should help dissect tradeoff effects and provide a rich ...
Grain-filling, an important trait that contributes greatly to grain weight, is regulated by quantitative trait loci and is associated with crop domestication syndrome1,2,3,4. However, the genes and underlying molecular mechanisms controlling crop grain-filling remain elusive. Here we report the isola...

These optimised, standardised and reproducible methods distinguish between the proteins of basmati, long, medium and sushi rice grains and quantify differences which might contribute to their different eating qualities. Introduction Rice grain quality is an important determinant of its commercial value and...
ASV and AC are two of the multidimensional characteristics relating to rice grain quality that has been used worldwide in rice breeding and process technologies. The degree of degradation test was evaluated visually by inspectors which was graded by a range of scores from 1 to 7. Since a numbe...
The study found significant deficits in terms of warehousing space for mobbing up grain surpluses and storage for lean seasons10. The government lacks the needed capital to make the required investments in appropriate storage and distribution infrastructure in the short to medium term. There has been...
Rice being vulnerable to salt stress at flowering stages is distinctly affected through reduced grain filling at reproductive and maturity stages. The ratio of filled grains to total number of grains is used to calculate spikelet fertility. Grain Yield It is the major selection criterion of practical...
Grains from cereals contribute an important source of protein to human food, and grain protein content (GPC) is an important determinant of nutritional quality in cereals. Here we show that the quantitative trait locus (QTL) qPC1 in rice controls GPC by
Thus, it is important to develop rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars that are both tolerant to Cu and that can exclude excess Cu from the grain. Because Cu is both essential and toxic depending on concentration, organisms including plants have developed a finely tuned homoeostatic network to ...
