Insertion-deletion (indel) polymorphisms, such as simple sequence repeats, have been widely used as DNA markers to identify QTLs and genes and to facilitate rice breeding. Recently, next-generation sequencing has produced deep sequences that allow genome-wide detection of indels. These polymorphisms can potentially be used to develop high-accuracy polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based markers. ...

in order to evaluate the relationships between some traits of iranian rice seedlings under saline conditions,,75 iranian cultivars as traditional, improved and introduced cultivars were used, as a randomized complete block design experiment with 3 replications at rice research institute of iran in three levels of salinity (normal ,1.2 , 4 and 8 ds.m-1) in 2006. root and shoot length, root and s...

The physical and functional properties of seven parboiled rice cultivars (Jehlum, K-332, Koshar, Pusa-3, SKAU-345, SKAU-382 and SR-1) were investigated at different soaking temperatures of 60 ̊C, 70 ̊C and 80 ̊C and it was compared with the brown raw rice of the respective cultivars. Parboiling was observed to decrease L* value and increase a* and b* values. The hardness of rice was significantly ...

background and objectives: rice plant requires abundant water during its growth cycle and usually faced with water deficit. drought  stress alters the allocation assimilate , root and shoot growth during the vegetative period and also lower tillering, death tillers, lower plant height and flowering delay. the aim of this study was to screen different iranian genotypes and some lines from irri w...

We developed a multilayered screening method that integrates both genome and transcriptome data to effectively identify regulatory genes in rice (Oryza sativa). We tested our method using eight rice accessions that differed in three important nutritional and agricultural traits, anthocyanin biosynthesis, amylose content, and heading date. In the genome resequencing of eight rice accessions with...

Due to increasing water and growing demand for food a more efficient water use system is needed for agriculture. This is more evidence for rice production with a higher water use for economical production. A large cultivar×water regime interaction exists for grain yield in rice. Therefore, information is required to adopt new rice cultivars with high yield potential under water-saving condition...

In this study, rice brans from different cultivars (Calrose, Jasmine, and Red Wells) were assessed for their ability to inhibit Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium using an in vitro mixed anaerobic culture system containing cecal microbiota obtained from broilers of different ages. Salmonella Typhimurium was added to controls (feed only, cecal only, and feed + cecal material) and treatments...
