Comparison of Short-grain Rice Cultivars Grown in Japan and the United States [PDF]

, 2018
Although short-grain rice accounts for less than 2% of U.S. rice production, the demand for short-grain rice is expected to increase because of the increasing popularity of sushi and sake. The objective of this study was to compare the physical, chemical

Concerted suppression of all starch branching enzyme genes in barley produces amylose-only starch granules

BMC Plant Biology, 2012
Background Starch is stored in higher plants as granules composed of semi-crystalline amylopectin and amorphous amylose. Starch granules provide energy for the plant during dark periods and for germination of seeds and tubers.

Physicochemical properties and leaching behavior of eight U.S. long-grain rice cultivars as related to rice texture [PDF]

, 2003
There are many long-grain rice cultivars produced commercially in the U.S.; however, little work has been done on correlating the structure and physicochemical properties of starch with their texture.

Buck Wheat: Nutritional, Bioactive Characteristics, Health Benefits, and Side Effects

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Micronutrient deficits have resulted from an over‐reliance on a small number of cereal crops for food security. The agricultural sector faces severe sustainability issues due to the rapid growth of the world's population and sudden climatic changes.

Environmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants - concepts and controversies [PDF]

, 2011
Background and purpose: In Europe, the EU Directive 2001/18/EC lays out the main provisions of environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) organisms that are interpreted very differently by different stakeholders. The purpose of this

Effects of genotype and environment on the physiochemical properties of Canadian oat varieties

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 5, Page 3111-3121, 30 March 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND The relationship between oat grain composition and physical attributes as influenced by oat genotype and Canadian growing environments was investigated. Thirty Canadian oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes, grown in three Canadian growing locations (Brandon, Manitoba; Portage la Prairie, Manitoba; and Lacombe, Alberta) over 2 consecutive

Suppression of starch synthase I (SSI) by RNA interference alters starch biosynthesis and amylopectin chain distribution in rice plants subjected to high temperature

Crop Journal, 2019
Based on known cDNAs of rice starch synthase isoforms, we constructed dsRNA interference vectors for starch synthase I (SSI) to produce transgenic plants containing starch with a moderately high amylose content.
