In this work, the volatile profiles of smoked and non-smoked Iranian rice were identified, and their relative abundance was calculated and compared. Headspace solid-phase microextraction together with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) were used to extract and identify the volatile compounds. The main groups of volatiles in Iranian rice were aldehydes, ketones, phenol derivatives...

because of the importance of iranian rice germplasm and its application in the rice breeding programs and international genetic resources exchanges, some researches are necessary to preserve these valuable genetic resources. for this purpose, the cryopreservation of the biological samples in liquid nitrogen at -196 °c can be used. in this research, the cryopreservation of the zygotic embryos of...

Twenty five Sri Lankan modern rice cultivars were screened for submergence tolerance at seedling and vegetative stages. An experiment was carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna, Mapalana, Kamburupitiya, Sri Lanka during May to September, 2011 according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replicates and each replicate contained 20 plants to evaluate sub...

Many quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for agronomically important traits such as grain yield, disease resistance, and stress tolerance of rice (Oryza sativa L.) have been detected by using segregating populations derived from crosses between indica and japonica subspecies or with wild relatives. However, the QTLs involved in the control of natural variation in agronomic traits among closely relat...

rice sheath blight disease caused by rhizoctonia solani ag1- ia is the secondeconomically important disease of the crop in most rice- growing regions of the world,including northern of iran. the disease is mainly controlled through application of fungicides.the present study was performed to identify the candidate cultivar (cultivars) as source ofresistance to the pathogen in rice field conditi...

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...
