Abstract Background and Objectives Rice grain quality is a primary determinant of its market
price and consumer acceptance. Although milling quality, appearance, cooking and eating …

The amylose content (AC) and amylopectin branch-chain distributions in grains determine
the qualities and applications of cereal crops. Breeding crop cultivars with different starch …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world and is a dietary
staple food for over half of the world's population. An increase in grain yield is continuously …

Soak-n-eat rice, a natural treasure of Eastern India, is popular rice based ethnic food item of
the tribal peoples of Assam. In the present study, 22 low amylose containing glutinous Bora …

(Wx mw/ss2-2), Nip (Wx mp/SSII-2) and Nip (Wx mp/ss2-2) in the Nipponbare (Nip) …

Starch bioengineering in cereals has produced a plethora of genotypes with new nutritional
and technological functionalities. Modulation of amylose content from 0 to 100% was …

In rice, grain filling is a crucial stage where asynchronous filling of the pollinated spikelet's of
the panicle occurs. It can influence both grain quality and yield. In rice grain, starch is the …

Glutinous rice accumulates amylose-free starch and is utilized for rice cakes and crackers,
owing to the loss of the Waxy gene which encodes granule-bound starch synthase I …

Low light (LL) stress during the grain-filling stage acutely impairs the quality and quantity of
starch accumulation in rice grains. Here, we observed that LL-induced poor starch …

Improving the quality of the appearance of rice is critical to meet market acceptance. Mining
putative quality-related genes has been geared towards the development of effective …
