Effect of heat-moisture treatment on the structural and physicochemical characteristics of sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum) starch. [PDF]
Food Sci Nutr, 2021 AbstractA small granule starch from sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum) was subjected to heat‐moisture treatment (HMT) at different moisture contents (MCs,15%–30%). With MC≤20%, a higher MC resulted in increases in the starch orders (i.e., short‐range and crystalline structure) with unchanged granule morphology.

Nutrition, health benefits, and processing of sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum): Comparisons with quinoa and buckwheat. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrAbstractThe dual pressures of climate change and population growth have made the development of new grains a necessity. Agriophyllum squarrosum (sand rice) has high adaptability to harsh environments and does not occupy agricultural land. It is widely cultivated and consumed in Central Asia. Sand rice, together with quinoa and buckwheat, belongs to the

A novel TF molecular switch-mechanism found in two contrasting ecotypes of a psammophyte, Agriophyllum squarrosum, in regulating transcriptional drought memory [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Prior drought stress may change plants response patterns and subsequently increase their tolerance to the same condition, which can be referred to as “drought memory” and proved essential for plants well-being.

Precipitation and local environment shape the geographic variation of seed size across natural populations of sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum). [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2022 Abstract Sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum) is widely distributed on dunes in the Asian interior arid zone, and its large intraspecific trait variation makes it a very good model for investigating the ecological processes underlying its adaptation to the desert environment.

Growth and physiological responses of Agriophyllum squarrosum to sand burial stress [PDF]
Journal of Arid Land, 2014 Agriophyllum squarrosum is an annual desert plant widely distributed on mobile and semi-mobile dunes in all the sandy deserts of China. We studied the growth and physiological properties of A. squarrosum seedlings under different sand burial depths in 2010 and 2011 at Horqin Sandy Land, Inner Mongolia to understand the ability and mechanism that A ...
