Henn.) is highly eaten by the local people of Manipur and regarded as delicacy and fetching Rs 28-55 per kg and is a source of livelihood for a section of rural populace. The galls are nutritious with protein (8.13%), carbohydrate (13.82%) and with other micro and macro-nutrients. The edible part of the plant is also having good antioxidant properties like total phenolics (84.1 mg GAE/g dry weight of plant), total flavonoides (7mg QE/g dry wt of plant) and antiradical power value of 10.4. Presence of toxic arsenic (0.09 ppm) in wild rice is much below the permissible limit and hence quite safe for consumption. The tender shoot of this plant is fondly eaten by Cervus eldi eldi McClelland, a critically endangered deer species of the world and also the ‘state animal’ of Manipur.

Read Full License Page 1/18 Abstract Background: Auxin signalling plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. Although the auxin response factor (ARF) gene family has been studied in some plant species, its structural features, molecular evolution, and expression prole in Zizania latifolia (Z. latifolia) are still not clear. Results: Our study identied 33 putative YSL genes from the whole Z. latifolia genome. Furthermore, a comprehensive overview of the ZlARFs was undertaken, including phylogenetic relationship, gene structures, conserved domains, synteny, Ka/Ks, motifs, and subcellular locations of the gene product. Synteny analyses and the calculation of Ka/Ks values suggested that all 57 orthologous/paralogous gene pairs between Z. latifolia and Z. latifolia, Z. latifolia and Oryza sativa have experienced strong purifying selection.

    A global perspective on the origins of agriculture: the importance of unconscious selection Thomas Kluyver Department of Animal and Plant Sciences A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2013 1 Acknowledgements My primary supervisor, Colin Osborne, has provided advice, encouragement and inspiration throughout my PhD. My supervisors in the Department of Archaeology, Glynis Jones and Mike Charles, have patiently helped me to get to grips with a field which I had never studied before this project. Mark Rees’ advice about statistics has also been invaluable. I am grateful to Irene Johnson, for her eminently practical help with growing all kinds of plants, and to Emily Mockford and Chris Bennett, for painstakingly dissecting beet seed capsules to weigh individual seeds. Katherine Haynes and Rebecca Crabtree weighed seed of modern garden vegetables for chapter 3, and that chapter also could not have been written without people and organisations around the world who shared their data with me, including Benoît Pujol (Laboratoire Évolution et Diversité Biologique, France), the Botanical Information Section at RBG Kew, the USDA National Genetic Resources Program, the International Potato Centre (CIP) in Peru, and EMBRAPA in Brazil. Over the last few years, I have enjoyed a warm, friendly and intellectually stimulating environment in Sheffield. It has been a pleasure to work with the people in Colin Osborne’s lab group, as well as the many others who I have got to know. My PhD research was funded by a university studentship from the University of Sheffield, for which I am very thankful. Last but not least, my thanks to my girlfriend and my family, for their support both during my PhD and in the years of education which prepared me to undertake it.

Received: 15 September 2018; Accepted: 23 October 2018; Published: 26 October 2018 Abstract: To provide further insights into the potential health-promoting antioxidants from wild rice (Zizania latifolia), which is an abundant but underutilized whole grain resource in East Asia, a partial purification based on D101 macroporous resin was carried out for the purification and enrichment of the antioxidants from the bioactive ethanol extracts of wild rice. On that basis, 34 phenolic compounds in the antioxidant fractions were identified by a high-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap quadrupole-Orbitrap-mass spectrometry (HPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MSn). The results suggested that phenolic acids could be enriched in the 10% ethanol-eluted fraction whereas flavonoids (including procyanidins and flavonoid glycosides) could be enriched in 20–30% ethanol-eluted fractions. A quantitative analysis determined by the multiple reaction monitoring mode of the ultra-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) revealed a high content of procyanidins in wild rice.

These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 1 July 2019; Accepted: 24 July 2019; Published: 26 July 2019 Abstract: In this study, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were used for the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of valuable bioactive compounds from Chinese wild rice (Zizania spp.). To this end, 7 different choline chloride (CC)-based DESs were tested as green extraction solvents. Choline chloride/1,4- butanediol (DES-2) exhibited the best extraction efficiency in terms of parameters such as the total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC), and free radical scavenging capacity + (DPPH• and ABTS• ). Subsequently, the UAE procedure using 76.6% DES-2 was also optimized: An extraction temperature of 51.2 ◦C and a solid–liquid ratio of 37.0 mg/mL were considered optimal by a Box–Behnken experiment. The optimized extraction procedure proved efficient for the extraction of 9 phenolic and 3 flavonoid compounds from Chinese wild rice as determined by quantification based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqQ-MS).
