abstract: a combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) with headspace solid-phase micro extraction (spme) method has been employed for the analysis of the flavor volatiles of three different rice cultivar, including two modified iranian rice cultivars and hashemi rice cultivar during gelatinization. the proposed combination provided a powerful system for easy and rapid screening of a...

A combined gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) with headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method has been employed for the analysis of the flavor volatiles of some Iranian rice cultivars (Domsiah, Deylamani, Hashemi, Shirodi and Tarom). The samples were grown in different cities of Mazandaran province. The sampling procedure and chromatographic conditions were same for all sa...

BACKGROUND Olive trees (Olea europaea subsp. europaea var. europaea) naturally grow in areas spanning the Mediterranean basin and towards the East, including the Middle East. In the Iranian plateau, the presence of olives has been documented since very ancient times, though the early history of the crop in this area is shrouded in uncertainty. METHODS The varieties presently cultivated in Ira...

BACKGROUND Transgenic Bt rice line T2A-1 expresses a synthesized cry2A gene that shows high resistance to Lepidoptera pests, including Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Plant volatile orientation cues and the physical characteristics of the leaf surface play key roles in host location or host-plant acceptance of phytophagous insects. These volatile compounds and physic...

The use of nondwarf rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars treated with uniconazole as test plants for gibberellin (GA) bioassay instead of Tan-ginbozu dwarf rice variant was investigated. The sensitivity of six nondwarf rice cultivars to GAs was increased substantially by treatment of the seeds with uniconazole. The minimum detectable dose of a GA in the nondwarf cultivars treated with uniconazole w...

The physical attributes, chemical composition, and physicochemical properties of 2 medium-grain rice cultivars from Arkansas (Bengal, Medark) and from California (M202, M204) were compared when grown in their respective locations and grown together in Arkansas to better understand the impacts of heredity and environment on medium-grain rice quality. Variations existed in grain dimensions, parti...

rice bran sterols have antioxidant activity as well as physiological and biological effects. because of these benefits, the aim of this study is evaluating the quantity and quality of iranian rice bran sterols. three widespread iranian rice cultivars (khazar, hashemi, and alikazemi) were used for determination of their sterol contents. two methods of sample preparation were compared and the bet...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. It is essential to develop an efficient method to build the fingerprinting database of commercial hybrid rice cultivars and their parental lines in seed market for rapid and unambiguous cultivar identification and seed purity analysis as new similar cultivars increasing yearly. The objective of this investigation were to fi...
