Wells R I C E Research Studies 2 0 0 0 R.J. Norman and J.-F. Meullenet, editors Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 DEDICATED IN MEMORY OF Bobby R. Wells Dr. Bobby R. Wells was born July 30, 1934, at Wickliffe, KY. He received his B.S. in Agriculture from Murray State University in 1959, his M.S. in Agronomy from the University of Arkansas in 1961, and his Ph.D. in Soils from the University of Missouri in 1964. Dr. Wells joined the faculty of the University of Arkansas in 1966 after two years as an Assistant Professor at Murray State University. He spent his first 16 years at the U of A Rice Research and Extension Center near Stuttgart. In 1982, he moved to the U of A Department of Agronomy in Fayetteville. Dr. Wells was a world-renowned expert on rice production with special empha- sis on rice nutrition and soil fertility. He was very active in the Rice Technical Work- ing Group (RTWG) where he served on several committees, chaired and/or moder- ated Rice Culture sections at the meetings and was a past Secretary and Chairman of the RTWG. He loved being a Professor and was an outstanding teacher and a mentor to numerous graduate students. Dr. Wells developed an upper-level course in rice production and taught it for many years. Dr. Wells was appointed Head of the U of A Department of Agronomy in 1993 and became University Professor that year in rec- ognition of his outstanding contributions to research, service and teaching. Among the awards he received were: the Outstanding Faculty Award from the U of A Department of Agronomy (1981), the Distinguished Rice Research and/or Education Award from the Rice Technical Working Group (1988) and the Outstand- ing Researcher Award from the Arkansas Association of Cooperative Extension Spe- cialists (1992). He was named a Fellow in the American Society of Agronomy (1993) and was awarded, posthumously, the Distinguished Service Award from the RTWG (1998). Dr. Wells edited this series when it was titled Arkansas Rice Research Studies from the publication’s inception in 1991 until his untimely death in 1996. Because of Dr. Wells’ contribution to rice research and this publication, it was renamed the B.R. Wells Rice Research Studies in his memory starting with the 1996 series. FEATURED RICE COLLEAGUE Dr. George E. Templeton June 27, 1931–November 24, 1996 George Earl Templeton was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on June 27, 1931 and died too young, of cancer, November 24, 1996. His dedication to his professional career was unrivaled and he truly cherished his family: true love and wife, Bobbie Nell; their children Earl, Gary, Jan, and Larry; and several grandchildren. Dr. Templeton received the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in 1953 and the Master of Science in Plant Pathology in 1954 from the University of Arkansas. He then completed 2 years military service at Fort Dietrich, Maryland working on the biological weapon potential of the rice blast fungus. This sparked a lifelong interest in diseases of rice. Following his brief military stint, he pursued a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology at the University of Wisconsin working on white tip nematode disease of rice. He com- pleted his degree in 1958 and returned to the University of Arkansas as Assistant Professor of Plant Pathology with responsibility for research on diseases of rice and other small grain crops. During the 1960s, Dr. Templeton worked tirelessly on practical control of rice diseases in Arkansas. His work on rice kernel smut is still routinely cited around the world and he worked out improved management options at the time for white tip nema- tode disease, straighthead, and rice blast. He collaborated well with other scientists and was involved in the development of several rice varieties with Dr. Ted Johnston. In the late 1960s, Dr. Roy Smith noticed something was killing his northern jointvetch plants in weed control plots at the Rice Station near Stuttgart, Arkansas. He contacted Dr. Templeton who found that a fungus in the genus Colletotrichum was ap- parently killing the plants. Dr. Templeton organized a team including Dr. Smith, Jim Daniels, Dr. David TeBeest, and others to conduct research that led to the commercial use of the fungus, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp. aeschynomene, as Collego®, the first mycoherbicide. This work resulted in an explosion of research around the world on biological control of weeds and brough international recognition to the team members. Dr. Templeton made other important discoveries as well, including tentoxin – the first fungal phytotoxin isolated and purified – and gloeosporone, one of the first fungal spore germination inhibitors characterized. His research resulted in more than 130 scientific papers and he received many research awards including: Outstanding Weed Science Article 1973 (Weed Science Society of America); The John White Award for Excellence in Research, The Ruth Allen Award, Fellow of the American Phytopathological Society, USDA Superior Service Award, and the Spitze Prize. Dr. Templeton was a valued teacher who created and taught Identification of Fungal Plant Pathogens to graduate students for many years at the University. He often used rice diseases as examples for the students, and frequently remarked that a complete plant pathology education was possible using just rice and its many disease problems for coursework. Besides service to Arkansas growers, Dr. Templeton actively served his profes- sion and the University through state, national, and international activities. Dr. Templeton was president of the Arkansas Academy of Sciences in the early 1970s. He established the Biocontrol Committee of the American Phytopathological Society and Southern Regional Project S-136 on Biocontrol of Weeds with fungi. He served as a member of ESCOP and testified before the U.S. House on biocontrol issues. He was an excellent ambassador for Arkansas and the University in his many travels to international meetings and work in Egypt on rice. He was one of the first faculty to achieve the rank of University Professor in 1985, and Distinguished Professor in 1991. Dr. Templeton had an abiding interest in history and maintained the plant pathology herbarium at the University for many years. He also collected many his- toric papers on rice, plant pathology, and agriculture from early Arkansas research- ers. These papers are now maintained by the University of Arkansas Special Collec- tions Section in Mullins Library. Dr. Templeton was also a tireless advocate for the University and the College of Agriculture, helping to obtain donations leading to the construction of the Rosen Alternative Pest Control Center. He was the principal force in securing several mil- lion dollars in federal funds to support Alternative Pest Control Research at the Uni- versity in the early 1990s. Dr. Templeton’s interest in rice pathology reawakened in 1992 and he helped establish a comprehensive rice disease research program in 1993, funded by the Rice Research and Promotion Board. He also resumed field work that year, helping estab- lish the Arkansas Rice Disease Monitoring Program – through which different rice varieties are planted on farms throughout the rice region of the state and subse- quently monitored for different diseases, on-farm yield, and quality performance. He co-authored several papers in the Arkansas Rice Research Series prior to his death. Dr. George Templeton’s legacy continues around the world through his influ- ence on the many graduate students he mentored. Despite their different backgrounds and subsequent career paths, all remember his humor, his care for others, his self- lessness, and his quest for excellence. We honor his memory.

The rice 14 blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae, which limits rice production in all rice-growing areas, is structured into 15 multiple lineages. Diversification and the maintenance of multiple rice blast lineages have been 16 proposed to be due to separation in different areas and differential adaptation to rice subspecies. 17 However, the precise world distribution of rice blast populations, and the factors controlling their 18 presence and maintenance in the same geographic areas, remain largely unknown.

  • Prodwrkshp 3.Qxd
    California Rice Production Workshop, v15 Variety Selection and Management Introduction and History Since its beginning in 1912, California’s rice industry limited its produc - tion and marketing largely to a few short and medium grain japonica varieties, developed from stocks originating in Japan and China. These varieties produced good yields of quality rice in the dry, temperate cli - mate of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys. For the grower, the choice of variety to plant was relatively simple because the few varieties available were similar in performance, yield potential and milling qual - ity when properly managed. Included were Colusa, Caloro and Calrose released in 1918, 1921 and 1948, respectively, and Earlirose, a productive, early maturing, proprietary variety, released in 1965 which soon became a popular variety for cold areas and/or late plantings. These were the major rice varieties grown in California until the early 1970’s. Then, the variety picture began to change significantly. A powerful impetus for this was the enactment of California Rice Research Marketing Order that established the California Rice Research Board in 1969. This grower initiative provided significant and regular funding to hasten development and release of new varieties. The medium grain variety CS-M3 was released in 1970 and the short grain variety CS-S4 in 1971, from rice hybridizations made in 1946 and 1957 at the Rice Experiment Station (RES) at Biggs, CA. CS-M3 gained wide acceptance and competed with the older Calrose for acreage. But, CS-S4, though an improvement over Caloro, was not widely grown because of its suscep - Publicly devel - tibility to low temperature induced sterility.

Recently, the agronomic traits of DOA1 and DOA2 were altered, affecting yield and cooking quality. Thus, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the agronomic traits and cooking quality of DOA1 and DOA2 and those of exotic japonica varieties in different locations, including the Kamphaeng Saen and Phan districts (WS16). DOA2 was improved by pure-line selection. The results showed that the Phan district was better suited to grow japonica varieties than the Kamphaeng Saen district and that DOA2 produced high grain yields in both locations. Furthermore, DOA2 was selected by the pure-line method in four generations, after which five candidate lines, Tana1 to Tana5, were selected for yield trials. The results of yield trials in three seasons (WS17, DS17/18, WS18) confirmed that Tana1 showed high performance in terms of its agronomic traits and grain yield.

  • RICE and GRAINS
    RICE and GRAINS RICE is one of the most important foods in the world, supplying as much as half of the daily calories for half of the world’s population. Scientific name: Oryza sativa Categories: short grain, medium grain or long grain o Short grain – has the highest starch content, males the stickiest rice. o Long grain – lighter and tends to remain separate when cooked. Another way that rice is classified is according to the degree of milling that it undergoes. This is what makes a BROWN RICE different than white rice. BROWN RICE – often referred to as whole rice or cargo rice, is the whole grain with only its inedible outer hull removed. Brown rice still retains its nutrient-rich bran and germ. WHITE RICE – is both milled and polished, which removes the bran and germ along with all the nutrients that reside within these important layers. SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR VARIETIES OF RICE IN THIS COUNTRY INLCUDE: ARBORIO – a round grain, starchy white rice, traditionally used to make the Italian dish risotto. BASMATI – an aromatic rice that has a nutlike fragrance, delicate flavor and light texture. SWEET RICE – almost translucent when it is cooked, this very sticky rice is traditionally used to make sushi and mochi. JASMINE – a soft-textured long grain aromatic rice that is available in both brown and white varieties. BHUTANESE RED RICE – grown in the Himalayas, this red colored rice has a nutty, earthy taste. FORBIDDEN RICE – a black colored rice that turns purple upon cooking and has a sweet taste and sticky texture.

  • The Rice Crisis: Markets, Policies and Food Security
    ‘This book, with chapters from many prominent experts, Crisis Rice The presents new evidence from the recent rice price crisis and draws lessons for preventing the next crisis. It is a unique set of references on global food security and the world rice market.’ shenggen Fan, director General, international Food Policy Research institute (iFPRi) ‘This book is a must-read for those who wish to understand the world rice market, trade policies and food security concerns. The Rice Crisis It provides a careful and detailed analysis of the causes and consequences of the 2007 and 2008 global rice crisis. It is written by knowledgeable experts from the key MaRkeTs, PoliCies and Food seCuRiT y rice economy nations.’ Professor eric J. wailes, university of arkansas, usa r-...... he recent escalation of world food prices – particularly for cereals T– prompted mass public indignation and demonstrations in many countries, from the price of tortilla flour in Mexico to that of rice in the Philippines and pasta in Italy. The crisis has important implications for future government trade and food security policies, as countries -3 re-evaluate their reliance on potentially more volatile world markets to augment domestic supplies of staple foods. This book examines how government policies caused and responded to soaring world prices in the particular case of rice, which is the world’s most important source of calories for the poor. Comparable case studies of policy reactions in different countries (principally across Asia, but also including the USA and Africa) provide the understanding necessary to evaluate the impact of trade policy on the food security of poor farmers and consumers.

The main compounds in black rice were anthocyanins (3.5 mg/g), with cyanidin 3-O- glucoside and peonidin 3-O-glucoside predominating, followed by flavones and flavonols (0.5 mg/g) and flavan-3-ols (0.3 mg/g), which comprised monomeric and oligomeric constituents. Significant quantities of γ-oryzanols, including 24-methylenecy- cloartenol, campesterol, cycloartenol, and β-sitosterol ferulates, were also detected along with lower levels of carotenoids (6.5 μg/ g). Red rice was characterized by a high amount of oligomeric procyanidins (0.2 mg/g), which accounted >60% of secondary metabolite content with carotenoids and γ-oryzanol comprising 26.7%, whereas flavones, flavonols and anthocyanins were <9%. Brown and white rice contained lower quantities of phytochemicals, in the form of flavones/flavonols (21−24 μg/g) and γ- oryzanol (12.3−8.2 μg/g), together with trace levels of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Neither anthocyanins nor procyanidins were detected in brown and white rice.

Simple Summary: Increased genetic diversity in plants is probably associated with greater ambient temperatures. To test this hypothesis, we studied genetic diversity and differentiation of weedy rice populations occurring in the early- and late-season rice cultivation fields in Leizhou of southern China. Data collected from 10-year climatic records showed a higher average temperature in the late rice-cultivation seasons than in the early rice-cultivation seasons. Results obtained based on 27 SSR (simple sequence repeat) loci indicated greater genetic diversity in the late-season weedy rice populations, in addition to the considerable genetic differentiation between the early- and late-season weedy rice populations.
