Accumulation of starch in Zn-deficient rice [PDF]
Abstract Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for living organisms, and understanding the molecular mechanisms of Zn deficiency may help to develop strategies to mitigate this problem. Microarray analysis of Zn deficient rice revealed the up-regulation of several genes involved in Zn transport.

Effect of heat-moisture treatment to raw paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) on cooked rice properties
Heat moisture treatment is safe and non-chemical use method for modifying physicochemical properties and digestibility of starch. Slow starch digestion in rice product would provide numerous health benefits for the consumers.

Ultrasonic Degradation of Waxy Rice Starch [PDF]
Sonication behavior of waxy rice starch in water has been investigated in terms of number average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution evaluated by gel permeation chromatography. Observed results on decreases in number average molecular weight indicated the ultrasonic degradation of waxy rice starch.

The promoted lateral root 1 (plr1) mutation is involved in reduced basal shoot starch accumulation and increased root sugars for enhanced lateral root growth in rice [PDF]
Lateral roots (LRs) are indispensable for plant growth, adaptability and productivity. We previously reported a rice mutant, exhibiting a high density of thick and long LRs (L-type LRs) with long parental roots and herein referred to as promoted lateral ...

Pasting, cooking, and digestible properties of Japonica rice with different amylose contents
Pasting, cooking, and digestible properties of Japonica rice with different amylose contents were investigated. Low-, medium-, and high-amylose Japonica rice (waxy, 18.8% amylose content, and 33.3% amylose content) were cooked and evaluated for water ...

Grain Quality and Starch Physicochemical Properties of Chalky Rice Mutant
Rice mutants with altered starch components and properties are important genetic resources for grain quality and starch structure analysis. Accordingly, in the present study, two mutants of the transcription factor OsbZIP09 were generated (osbzip09a and ...

Balancing the double‐edged sword effect of increased resistant starch content and its impact on rice texture: its genetics and molecular physiological mechanisms [PDF]
Resistant starch (RS) is the portion of starch that escapes gastrointestinal digestion and acts as a substrate for fermentation of probiotic bacteria in the gut. Aside from enhancing gut health, RS contributes to a lower glycemic index.
