Project description:Glutinous rice (Oryza sativa L.) quality includes thermal properties, retrogradation and pasting viscosity properties, and so on, which have little or no amylose. However, the genetic network regulation of different quality indices has not been systematically studied. The aim was to investigate the relationship between starch synthesis-related genes (SSRGs) and the physicochemical properties of glutinous rice by targeted-gene association analysis (TGAS). The genotypes of 17 SSRGs were analyzed using 46 gene-specific molecular markers in 63 glutinous rice accessions. TGAS and gene interactions analysis indicated that soluble starch synthase (SS) IIa, SSI, starch branching enzyme (BE) IIa, and pullulanase (PUL) had significant genetic effects on glutinous rice quality. SSI and SSIIa were the major genes that regulated thermal properties and retrogradation properties (RP). PUL was central in the regulation of gel consistency (GC), and it participated in the regulation of pasting viscosity parameters (PVP) except for the pasting time and the pasting temperature. BEIIb, ISA1, SSIVb, BEIIa, SSIVa, and their interactions with SSIIa regulated gelatinization temperature (GT) and PVP. The starch properties of glutinous rice are mainly controlled by SSIIa, SSI, PUL, and their interactions, but SSIIa is central among them. These findings indicate that starch properties in glutinous rice have a complex genetic system. It provides crucial information for promoting glutinous rice quality.

Project description:Many studies have been conducted on the bioactive compounds of rice seeds, however, there is limited information on the bioactive compounds of rice sprouts. This study focused on the age effect on the phytochemical content of white and black glutinous rice sprouts harvested between 5 and 25 days old. We assessed yield, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total anthocyanin content, total chlorophyll content, and proximate analysis. HPLC results identified protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, and rutin in the sprouts of both cultivars, ranging between 0.56-1.58, 0.65-7.69, and 0.47-1.68 mg/g extract, respectively. The amount of bioactive compounds and proximate compositions in black glutinous rice were generally higher than white glutinous rice in an age-dependent manner (p < 0.05). At 5-7 days, black glutinous rice contained the highest total anthocyanin content, while white glutinous rice contained the highest total phenolic content and total flavonoid content (p < 0.05). High total chlorophyll content was initially detected in white glutinous rice at a younger age than black glutinous rice (p < 0.05), while total chlorophyll content in both cultivars was not significantly different. Our study confirms the presence of phytoconstituents in the rice sprouts of white and black glutinous rice and their potential as functional foods and for being further development as natural health products.

Project description:Improving the eating quality of cooked rice has been one of the most important objectives in rice breeding programs. Eating quality of cooked rice is a complex trait including several components, such as external appearance, taste, aroma, and texture. Therefore, dissection of these components followed by marker-assisted selection of detected QTL(s) may be a useful approach for achieving desirable eating quality in rice breeding. Whiteness of cooked rice (WCR) is an important factor related to the external appearance of cooked rice. WCR is known to be associated with the amylose and protein contents of the endosperm. However, the genetic basis of WCR remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated phenotypic variation in WCR among recently developed rice cultivars from Hokkaido, Japan. Then, we developed doubled haploid lines (DHLs) derived from a cross between two cultivars from Hokkaido, Joiku No. 462 (high WCR) and Jokei06214 (low WCR). Using the DHLs, we detected two QTLs for WCR, qWCR3 and qWCR11, on chromosomes 3 and 11, respectively. We also examined the dosage effect of the two QTLs based on both the categorized segregants in the DHLs and the relationship between the WCR phenotype and inheritance around the QTL regions in cultivars from Hokkaido.

Project description:Two key properties of excipients for inclusion in direct compression tablets are flowability and compactibility. Glutinous rice starch (GRS) has poor flowability, which limits its use in direct compression tablets. This study aimed to create a multifunctional direct compression excipient (filler binder disintegrant) with improved flowability from GRS by the co-precipitation method. The physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties of the co-precipitated GRS (cpGRS) were investigated. The optimum conditions for producing cpGRS (0.43 M sodium hydroxide solution, 7.09% PVP K30, 14.02% calcium carbonate, 95 min of mixing time and pH of 6.97) resulted in 68.80% yield, fair to good flowability, acceptable tablet strength, and fast disintegration. The FT-IR spectra of cpGRS showed no significant shifts in the key peaks, which indicates that there was an absence of chemical interactions within cpGRS. X-ray diffractograms also showed no significant changes, indicating that the GRS granules, calcium carbonate, and PVP K30 components remained unaltered during co-precipitation. cpGRS also demonstrated a dilution capacity of 50% when paracetamol was used as model drug. When cpGRS was combined with domperidone or propranolol hydrochloride it showed a better deformation capability than the physical mixtures. Although cpGRS was sensitive to lubricant, the hardness and tensile strength were higher than common strength for general purpose use in tablets. When compared to the physical mixture, pregelatinized starch and directly compressible calcium carbonate, the results showed that cpGRS tablets of both model drugs passed the friability test, demonstrated the best disintegration property, provided the fastest and highest drug release profile for propranolol, and improved the drug release profile for domperidone. For propranolol-cpGRS tablets, dissolution medium at different pH did not affect the dissolution profile. For domperidone-cpGRS tablets, the pH of dissolution medium did affect the dissolution profile of the tablets. This was according to the API solubility. These results reveal that cpGRS is an excellent multifunctional i.e., filler, binder, and disintegrant excipient suitable for direct compression tablets. The main component is natural. The preparation method is simple, quick, and efficient. This method does not produce harmful waste and requires only basic equipment, and affordable reactants and devices.

Project description:In this study, we modeled the water absorption, softening and shear viscosity change kinetics of canned rice porridge during cooking as well as estimated the thermodynamic properties involved in hydration. Moreover, the internal microstructure of rice kernels was observed under different hydrothermal conditions. During cooking, the water absorption and shear viscosity alteration rate increased with temperature, whereas the softening rate decreased. However, the temperature did not significantly affect the equilibrium value of the physical properties. The variation tendencies of the moisture content and hardness of the kernels could be expressed satisfactorily by the exponential and the generalized exponential models. The porridge shear viscosity variations fitted the sigmoidal and its generalized models. Thermodynamic parameters (enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy) revealed that the hydration process was non-spontaneous and exothermic. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy images and the results of the X-ray diffraction analysis showed the microstructure of the kernels during cooking, and the kernels formed a homogeneous mesh structure at earlier times during the initial stage at higher temperatures. These findings would provide valuable information for the optimization of canned rice porridge production.

Project description:The gelatinization temperature of endosperm starch in most japonica rice cultivars is significantly lower than that in most indica rice cultivars. This is because three single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Starch synthase (SS) IIa gene in japonica rice cultivars (SSIIaJ ) significantly reduce SSIIa activity, resulting in an increase in amylopectin short chains with degree of polymerization (DP) ? 12 compared to indica rice cultivars (SSIIaI ). SSIIa forms a trimeric complex with SSI and starch branching enzyme (BE) IIb in maize and japonica rice, which is likely important for the biosynthesis of short and intermediate amylopectin chains (DP ? 24) within the amylopectin cluster. It was unknown whether the complete absence of SSIIa further increases amylopectin short chains and reduces gelatinization temperature and/or forms altered protein complexes due to the lack of a suitable mutant. Here, we identify the SSIIa-deficient mutant rice line EM204 (ss2a) from a screen of ca. 1,500 plants of the rice cultivar Kinmaze (japonica) that were subjected to N-methyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis. The SSIIa gene in EM204 was mutated at the boundary between intron 5 and exon 6, which generated a guanine to adenine mutation and resulted in deletion of exon 6 in the mRNA transcript. SSIIa activity and SSIIa protein in developing endosperm of EM204 were not detected by native-PAGE/SS activity staining and native-PAGE/immunoblotting, respectively. SSIIa protein was completely absent in mature seeds. Gel filtration chromatography of soluble protein extracted from developing seeds showed that the SSI elution pattern in EM204 was altered and more SSI was eluted around 300 kDa, which corresponds with the molecular weight of trimeric complexes in wild type. The apparent amylose content of EM204 rice grains was higher than that in its parent Kinmaze. EM204 also had higher content of amylopectin short chains (DP ? 12) than Kinmaze, which reduced the gelatinization temperature of EM204 starch by 5.6°C compared to Kinmaze. These results indicate that EM204 starch will be suitable for making foods and food additives that easily gelatinize and slowly retrograde.

Project description:The effects of transplantation date on milled rice (physicochemical, amino acids composition and protein profiling) of different cultivars and their starch characteristics (granules size distribution, pasting and thermal) were investigated. Head rice yield increased (2.0-4.1 %) and chalky grains (5-10 %) decreased with delaying the paddy transplantation of different cultivars by 20 days. Delayed transplantation of paddy significantly increased asparagine, glutamine, threonine, cysteine, methionine, tryptophan, lysine and proline content in milled rice. Early transplantation of paddy showed higher accumulation of glutelin and prolamines than that in milled rice from delayed transplantation. The change in amino acid composition of milled rice with delay in transplantation was related to variation in accumulation of glutelin and prolamines. Starch from delayed transplanted paddy showed higher peak viscosity and lower breakdown viscosity than those from early transplanted paddy. These differences were due to higher accumulation of amylose in starch from delayed transplanted paddy than that from early transplanted paddy due to exposure of former to lower night air temperature during starch synthesis.

Project description:Rice production systems and soil characteristics play a crucial role in determining its yield and grain quality. Two elite Thai rice cultivars, namely, KDML105 and RD6, were cultivated in two production systems with distinct soil characteristics, including net-house pot production and open-field production. Under open-field system, KDML105 and RD6 had greater panicle number, total grain weight, 100-grain weight, grain size, and dimension than those grown in the net-house. The amounts of reducing sugar and long amylopectin branch chains (DP 25-36) of the RD6 grains along with the amounts of long branch chains (DP 25-36 and DP ≥ 37), C-type starch granules, and average chain length of the KDML105 were substantially enhanced by the open-field cultivation. Contrastingly, the relative crystallinity of RD6 starch and the amounts of short branch chains (DP 6-12 and DP 13-24), B- and A-type granules, and median granule size of KDML105 starch were significantly suppressed. Consequently, the open-field-grown RD6 starch displayed significant changes in its gelatinization and retrogradation properties, whereas, certain retrogradation parameters and peak viscosity (PV) of KDML105 starches were differentially affected by the distinct cultivating conditions. This study demonstrated the influences of production systems and soil characteristics on the physicochemical properties of rice starches.

Project description:Rice mutants with altered starch components and properties are important genetic resources in rice breeding programmes. In this study, 44 mutants with altered starch components were screened from 135 rice mutants with opaque kernels using a starch-iodine absorption spectrum method, and nine mutants from them were further selected for investigating their starch properties and kernel appearance quality. The results showed that the iodine absorption spectrum parameters, OD620, OD620/550, and λmax, could reflect the changes of starch components in rice mutants, and had significantly positive relationships with amylose content and negative relationships with the proportion of short branch-chains of amylopectin. The endosperm starches from nine mutants all showed A-type crystalline structure and similar short-range ordered structure, but had different relative crystallinities. The changes of starch components in mutants not only resulted in the different gelatinization properties of starch but also changed the appearance quality of brown rice kernels. This study provided abundant genetic plants for studying the molecular mechanism of starch synthesis and the quality regulation of rice kernels.

Project description:Sorghum is a high-quality raw material for brewing white wine, and the starch content in seeds has a large impact on brewing quality. Transcriptomic data obtained from a glutinous variety (Liaonian3) and a non-glutinous variety (Liaoza10) at 3, 18, and 30 days after pollination were analyzed to identify genes associated with starch accumulation. The amylopectin content was significantly higher in Liaonian3 compared to Liaoza10, but the amylose content and total starch content were lower. There were 6634 differentially expressed genes found in Liaoza10 between 3 and 18 d after pollination, and 779 differentially expressed genes between 18 and 30 d after pollination. In Liaonian3, there were 6768 differentially expressed genes between 3 and 18 d after pollination, and 7630 differentially expressed genes between 18 and 30 d after pollination. Genes were grouped by expression profiles over the three time points and the profiles were analyzed for enrichment of gene ontology terms and biochemical pathways. Profile 1 (decreasing expression from 3 to 30 d) for Liaoza10 was enriched in ribosomes, metabolic pathways, and carbon metabolic pathways. Profile 0 (decreasing expression from 3 to 18 d and consistent expression from 18 to 30 d) was enriched in pathways related to sugar or starch metabolism. Although the starch accumulation rate in Liaonian3 and Liaoza10 showed a profile of increasing and then decreasing, the expression of genes related to starch synthesis gradually decreased with time since pollination, demonstrating the complexity of starch synthesis. According to orthologous gene alignment and expression analysis, 19 genes such as entrzID_8068390 and entrzID_8066807 were found to be the key genes for starch synthesis and glutinous and non-glutinous differentiation in sorghum grains.
