Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of the starchy endosperm protein of rice (Oryza sativa L. Japonica cv Koshihikari) during seed development confirmed that storage protein begins to accumulate about 5 days after flowering. Two polypeptide groups, 22 to 23 and 37 to 39 kilodaltons, the components of glutelin, the major storage protein in rice seed, appeared 5 day...

Rice (Oryza sativa) seed storage proteins (SSPs) are synthesized and deposited in storage organelles in the endosperm during seed maturation as a nitrogen source for germinating seedlings. We have generated glutelin, globulin, and prolamin knockdown lines and have examined their effects on seed quality. A reduction of one or a few SSP(s) was compensated for by increases in other SSPs at both th...

Rice storage conditions include location, granary depth, time, temperature and atmosphere. The fungi community varies during storage, but how these communities change remains unexplored so far. This study collected rice samples from granaries in different horizontal vertical directions time over two years. High-throughput ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) sequencing analysis revealed that Ascom...

The rice industry today, very depends on synthetic pesticides to protect against losses. However, pose toxicity and give a negative effect humans, animals, the environment. Thus, this study aims observe effectiveness of natural powders such as neem ( Azadirachta indica ) black pepper Piper nigrum in controlling weevil Sitopylus oryzae during storage. Treatments included experiment comprised con...

We studied the impacts of anthropogenic changes in land use on the stoichiometric imbalance of soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in Phragmites australis wetlands in the Minjiang River estuary. We compared five areas with different land uses: P. australis wetland (control), grassland, a mudskipper breeding flat, pond aquaculture and rice cropland. Human activity has...

Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) is a major public health problem in several areas of the world, especially developing countries. deficiency can cause goitre, cretinism, decrease intelligence, mental retardation, brain damage, deaf-mutism, and miscarriage pregnant women stillbirth as well. The purpose this research was to determine stability iodine content kinetics reaction rate fortified rice...
