The comparative effects of instant cooked rice made from giant embryo mutant or ordinary normal rice on body weight and lipid profile in high fat-fed mice were investigated. The animals were given experimental diets for seven weeks: normal control (NC), high fat (HF), and HF supplemented with instant normal white (HF-NW), normal brown (HF-NB), giant embryonic white (HF-GW), or giant embryonic b...

Rice is an important energy source for people worldwide. The rice grain consists of an endosperm, a bran layer and a germ. However, polished rice lacks the bran and germ, which are abundant in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Polished rice is one of the main staples in Asian countries. On the other hand, pre-germinated brown rice (PGBR) is rapidly becoming popular as a health food in Japan...

Iron is an essential micronutrient for human nutrition and polished rice contains very low amount of iron. Rice with high iron content in seed endosperm has been developed by insertion of soybean ferritin gene under the control of the endosperm specific glutelin promoter into the genome of indica rice line IR68144. The nutritional composition of the brown and milled rice grain has been compared...

Leaf spot disease of rough lemon and brown spot disease of tangerines caused by distinct pathotypes of Alternaria alternata, and postharvest fruit black rot disease caused by A. citri, are the three major fungal diseases of citrus. The pathogenicity and specificity for the pathogens of Alternaria leaf spot and brown spot diseases are associated with the production of different host-specific tox...

Brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål, Homoptera: Delphacidae) is economically important pest on rice that feed directly or serve as vectors of pathogenic microorganisms and viruses to crops, resulting in significant damage and yield losses for farmers. In recent decades, brown planthopper has become notorious due to the emergence of new, virulent populations that can overcome host resista...

Multi-parent Advanced Generation Intercross (MAGIC) populations are fast becoming mainstream tools for research and breeding, along with the technology and tools for analysis. This paper demonstrates the analysis of a rice MAGIC population from data filtering to imputation and processing of genetic data to characterizing genomic structure, and finally quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping. In t...

Rice is an agricultural sector that produces rice which one of the staple foods for majority population in Indonesia. In cultivation plants there are also factors affect production and not realized by farmers causing they late handling diagnosing symptoms making decline. Therefore, it necessary to have early diagnosis identify them correctly, quickly accurately. Machine learning classification ...

CB 05022, the medium duration rice culture with the parentage of CO 43/ ADT 39 was developed at Department of Rice, TNAU, Coimbatore. The culture was evaluated at station trials and it gave 21.8% increased yield over ADT (R) 46. This culture was evaluated under AICRIP in irrigated transplanted low land ecosystem as IET 20884 for two years 2006-2008. Under IVT-IM the culture recorded a mean grai...

Problem statement: Germinated rice has been recognized as a functional food and its health benefits. However, most related studies were on germinated brown rice but our previous study indicated that germination of rough rice was an effective method to obtain high concentrations of bioactive compounds. Germination time is one of the most important factors affecting the level of biochemical compo...
