Background The current incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes is at global epidemic
levels. To mitigate their impact, there is a need to develop starch-containing foods that give …

Background The global shift in food consumption patterns accompanied by a sedentary
lifestyle has been driving the upsurge of non-communicable diseases, projected to remain …

The determination of rice grain quality (RGQ) parameters is important because it is the
benchmark of rice breeding success to meet up the consumers' demand. RGQ includes …

Nitrogen fertilizer is an important agronomic measure to regulate rice yield and grain quality.
Grain filling is crucial for the formation of rice yield and grain quality. However, there are few …

It is highly desirable to improve the physicochemical properties and nutritional functions of
rice starch. In this study, the structural, physical and chemical properties and digestibility of …

The increase in rice consumption and demand for high-quality rice is impacted by the growth
of socioeconomic status in developing countries and consumer awareness of the health …

The source–sink relationship determines the overall agronomic performance of rice. Cloning
and characterizing key genes involved in the regulation of source and sink dynamics is …

Amylose content (AC) is one of the physicochemical indexes of rice quality, which is largely
determined by the Waxy (Wx) gene. Fragrance in rice is favored because it adds good flavor …

Abstract White rice samples, Chai-Nat1 (CN1) and Jasmin rice (KDML105), were treated
with the ultrasound-chilling (UC) and combined with annealing treatments (UC+ ANN 45 …

Grain quality of rice is more complex than other cereals, since it is mostly consumed as
whole grain in countries where it serves as a staple food. Quality characteristics are major …
