Analysis of Essential and Nonessential Elements in Local and Imported Raw and Cooked Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i>) Samples in Ethiopia. [PDF]
Int J Anal ChemThis study aimed to measure the concentrations of essential and nonessential metals in raw and cooked rice samples from Ethiopia. Researchers collected rice samples, both local and imported, from the Jimma town market. The samples were stored in prerinsed plastic bags and rinsed with 2 mol/L HNO3 and deionized water to prevent contamination ...

Advances in Molecular Genetics and Genomics of African Rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud). [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2019 African rice (Oryza glaberrima) has a pool of genes for resistance to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses, making it an important genetic resource for rice improvement. African rice has potential for breeding for climate resilience and adapting rice cultivation to climate change.

A first interspecific Oryza sativa × Oryza glaberrima microsatellite-based genetic linkage map [PDF]
TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2000 #Oryza glaberrima$ is an endemic African cultivated rice species. To provide a tool for evaluation and utilisation of the potential of #O. glaberrima$ in rice breeding, we developed an interspecific #O. glaberrima$x#Oryza sativa$ genetic linkage map. It was based on PCR markers, essentially microsatellites and STSs.

Effect of Drought on Oryza glaberrima Rice Accessions and Oryza glaberrima Derived-lines
Asian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2012 Rice varieties response to drought has been extensively studied and many lines have been released, but identifying new tolerant lines is still a challenge for scientists due to the complexity and the specificity of this constraint over environments.
