Rice germplasms collected from different regions could be used as valuable resources for the future breeding programme. For the utilization of such collections, knowledge about the level and distribution of genetic diversity among these collections will facilitate the breeder. In this study, we report the phenotypic correlation, biochemical quality parameters and population genetic analysis of 35 rice accessions including 34 aromatic rice from different countries and a nonaromatic, Nagina 22, a well-known drought resistance variety. Further biochemical quality analysis, gel consistency test, molecular diversity analysis with 55 simple sequence repeat markers, population structure analysis and pair wise FST analysis were also conducted to assess the genetic diversity. The collected rice genotypes showed significant variability in different agronomic traits, i.e. spikelet per panicle, branches per panicle etc. Results obtained from the above tests demonstrated the importance of regional genetic studies for understanding the diversification of aromatic rice in Asian and African rice. Keywords. basmati rice; aroma; alkali spreading value; gel consistency; amylose; diversity; simple sequence repeat primers. Introduction chemical compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP). Due to the presence of aroma in aromatic rice, they are in higher Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most widely demand than nonaromatic rice and also plays a vital role cultivated crops in the world. It is a diverse crop, due to in global rice trading (Blakeney et al. 1992; Weber et al. its adaptation to different geographical, ecological and 2000; Shobha et al. 2006). Aromatic rice can be further climatic regions. Most of the world’s rice is cultivated grouped into long and short grain type. Among the long and consumed in Asia, home for more than half of the grain aromatic rice, Basmati rice is more valuable because global population (Chakravarthi and Naravaneni 2006). of its cooking quality and are at higher demand. Basmati On the basis of aroma, rice can be grouped into aromatic rice elongates at least twice its original size after cook- and nonaromatic. Aromatic rice (scented rice or fragrance ing and has a delicious taste, superior aroma as well as rice) is very popular in Asia, United States, Europe and distinct flavour. India and Pakistan are the traditional in Middle East. Aroma in rice is due to the presence of producers and exporters of Basmati rice.

Quality parameters Genetic diversity, relationship and population structure like grain dimensions, rice colour, texture of cooked rice, studies among the rice genotypes are valuable for different intensity of aroma and cooking quality analysis revealed purposes (Ndjiondjop et al. 2018). These purpose include large variation in rice under different agro-climatic con- the selection of parental combinations for the creation of ditions. Cooking quality traits of rice also varied despite different progenies that are phenotypically superior and having similar amylose content (AC), gel consistency (GC) with significantly higher yield potential compared to their and alkali spreading value (ASV). However, any aromatic parents (Mohammadi and Prasanna 2003). In the present rice is not accepted as Basmati in the trade (Sharma and study, we conducted morphological, biochemical, molec- Goel 2011).

  • 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 nutritional qualities of rice grains vary based on their nutrient and amino acids content. Indigenous varieties are conserved for a variety of reasons. Farmers have great awareness about the rice varieties they were using and their importance. Some of them are pest and disease resistance (Sigappu Kuruvikar); some of them are suitable for saline soil (Kalarpalai); flood and drought resistance (Samba Mosanam and Vadan Samba) and provide energy and stamina (Mappillai Samba). In order to study the response of these traditional varieties to salinity, a replicated trial was conducted in a completely randomised block design (RBD) with 50 varieties (47 traditional rice varieties and 3 local varieties as check) in the coastal saline areas of Tamil Nadu. In this study, data on biometric, biophysical, growth analysis and yield parameters were recorded and statistical analysis of clustering of genotypes, correlation analysis, multidimensional scale and principal component analysis (PCA) were also done using the statistical tools for agricultural research software with the varieties. The results revealed that the varieties Raja mannar, Pal kudaivazhai, Kuzhiadichan and Raja mudi performed well by recording better observations in biometric, biophysical, growth analysis and yield parameters.

  • HISTORY of RICE in the USA from the US Rice Federation
    HISTORY OF RICE IN THE USA From The US Rice Federation Rice, throughout history, has been one of man’s most important foods. Today, this unique grain helps sustain two-thirds of the world’s population, yet little is known about the origins of rice cultivation. Archeological evidence suggests rice has been feeding mankind for more than 5,000 years. The first documented account is found in a decree on rice planting authorized by a Chinese emperor about 2,800 BC. From China to ancient Greece, from Persia to the Nile Delta, rice migrated across the continents, eventually finding its way to the Western Hemisphere. Enterprising colonists were the first to cultivate rice in America. It began quite by accident when, in 1685, a storm-battered ship sailing from Madagascar limped into the Charles Towne harbor. To repay the kindness of the colonists for repairs to the ship, the ship’s captain made a gift of a small quantity of "Golden Seede Rice" (named for its color) to a local planter. The low-lying marsh lands bordered by fresh tidal water rivers of the Carolinas and Georgia proved to be ideal for rice production. The soils were rich, reasonably flat and highly fertile. They also were so soft a man could hardly stand on them, with twice a day tides pushing fresh river waters onto the flood plains, nothing else could be grown there. By 1700, rice was established as a major crop for the colonists. That year 300 tons of American rice, referred to as "Carolina Golde Rice," was shipped to England.

  • Survey of Recent Innovations in Aromatic Rice
    Survey of Recent Innovations in Aromatic Rice Orachos Napasintuwong Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics Kasetsart University, Bangkok 10900 Thailand [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the 131 st EAAE Seminar ‘Innovation for Agricultural Competitiveness and Sustainability of Rural Areas’, Prague, Czech Republic, September 18-19, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Orachos Napasintuwong. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. Survey of Recent Innovations in Aromatic Rice Orachos Napsintuwong Annotation: This paper provides situations of aromatic rice demand, and international standards. The history and recent developments of traditional and evolved aromatic rice varieties, namely Basmati rice and Jasmine rice, are reviewed. The emerging aromatic rice innovations from developed countries such as the U.S. and other Asian countries generate a threat to these traditional aromatic rice producers such as India, Pakistan, and Thailand.
