The protein content per serving found to range from 0.49 g for La Cigala rice to 6.2 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCompressive Load Resistance Characteristics of Rice GrainSumpun Chaitep, Chaiy Rungsiyakull, Pipatpong WatanawanyooInvestigation was made to observe the compressive load property of rice gain both rough rice and brown grain. Six rice varieties (indica and japonica) were examined with the moisture content at 10-12%. Compressive loads with reference to a principal axis normal to the thickness of the grain were conducted at selected inclined angles of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of the Use of Rice Bran Compost for Eco-friendly Weed Control in Organic Farming SystemsM.A.I. Khan, K. Ueno, S. Horimoto et al.Rice bran compost (RC) was evaluated under greenhouse and field conditions for eco-friendly weed control of vegetable crops in organic farming systems. RC was applied 7 days before spinach seed sowing, at the rate of 0% (control), 10%, 20% and 30% of soil (v/v) in the greenhouse and 2 kg m-2 under field conditions. RC significantly controlled the number and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,930 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMapping QTLs Linked to Physio-Morphological and Plant Production Traits under Drought Stress in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the Target EnvironmentS. Michael Gomez, S. Satheesh Kumar, P. Jeyaprakash et al.Drought stress is a major constraint for rice (Oryza sativa L.) production and yield stability in rainfed ecosystems. Identifying genomic regions (QTLs) contributing in drought resistance will help to develop rice cultivars suitable for water-limiting environments through marker-assisted breeding. QTLs linked to physio-morphological and plant production traits under drought stress in the field were mapped by evaluating 177 F6 recombinant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 14,482 accessesView PDFCite
