The Code of Practice for Rice (The Rice Association, 2005) only allows the term „Basmati rice‟ to be applied to certain long grain aromatic rice varieties grown in India and Pakistan. It states that the maximum adulterant levels in basmati rice varieties can not exceed 7%. Procedures for the detection of adulterant rice varieties and the identification of named basmati varieties have been developed and validated previously by the FSA. These methods rely on microsatellite (SSR) markers and require separation of fragments on a DNA sequencer. DNA sequencers are not generally available to most public analysts. A more suitable platform is the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer, or LabChip system, which is simpler, more adaptable and cheaper than a DNA sequencer. However, the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer does not allow clear separation of all SSR fragments and cannot resolve fragments that differ in size by <4 bp. In this project, alternative rice markers were tested in order to identify a suitable set for testing basmati varieties using the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer. Three novel PCR-based marker systems (ISSR, and INDELs, and Rim2/Hipa) were tested on a set of rice standard varieties. Of these systems, INDELs were found to be the most reliable and informative. INDELs gave fragment sizes that were sufficiently different for easy separation using the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyser. A set of INDEL PCR markers were optimized for use with the series II LabChip 1000 system, on the BioAnalyser. Panels of INDEL markers that can be run together in the same PCR (multiplex) were identified that can be used to determine rice varieties present in samples. As with SSR markers, there was no ideal set of markers for identification of all known potential adulterants or separation of all basmati varieties from each other. We did not identify any INDEL markers that could distinguish Yamini from permitted basmatis. Two main criteria were used to select INDELs for variety testing: i) they should detect as many non-permitted varieties as possible and ii) the test should require a minimum of two PCR reactions. For these reasons, additional markers that could distinguish between permitted varieties (e.g Basmati 198 from other basmatis) were not included in the test. A set of 8 INDELs that can be run in two panels was able to detect the non-permitted varieties: Pak 386, Sherbati, Supra, Pusa Sugandha, Superfine, Mugad Sugandha, Basmati 2000, Shaheen Basmati and Pusa 1121. A simplified test using only one multiplex PCR (4 INDELs) was suitable for detecting all of these except Basmati 2000, Shaheen Basmati, and Pusa 1121. This test is highly cost effective and can be used in conjunction with a second PCR to detect these adulterants. The 4 INDEL variety test was validated and shown to give good, clear and reproducible results on the BioAnalyser, and it is highly suited for use by PAs for the detection of rice mixtures containing non-permitted varieties. Page 3 of 27 The existing SSR marker (RM201) was shown to be effective for quantification using the BioAnalyser. In addition, we tested three INDEL markers that could be used for quantitative analysis. One of these (B8) was chosen for development into a second quantitative test because it is highly reproducible and gives clear PCR products on the BioAnalyser (but this test does not detect as many adulterant varieties as the RM201 test). Both quantitative tests were tested in two laboratories and used to compare a range of adulterant mixtures. Both were shown to be useable by PAs because they can give a reasonable estimation of the level of an adulterant present. However, we observed that the levels of accuracy and reproducibility of the tests when carried out on the BioAnalyser were not as high as when the same tests are carried out on a DNA sequencer. The outcomes of this project were met: 1. An existing SSR marker (RM201) was adapted for the quantification of non- permitted rice varieties as adulterants in approved basmati rice using the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer (SOP 1). This test can detect and quantify levels of the adulterant varieties Sherbati, Pak 386, Mugad Sugandha and Superfine. 2. A novel INDEL marker (B8) was identified for the quantification of non- permitted rice varieties as adulterants in approved basmati rice and it was optimized for the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer (SOP 2). This test can detect and quantify levels of the adulterant varieties Sherbati and Pak 386. 3. A simple 4 INDEL (one-PCR) method for the identification of non-permitted rice varieties and common adulterants in approved basmati rice was developed for the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer (SOP 3). This method can be augmented with two additional markers to gain further information about varieties present. 4. All three methods were validated by the developer, Food DNA Services (FDNAS), and by an independent public analyst laboratory, Worcestershire Scientific Services (WSS). They were written up as three separate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for presentation to the FSA. An additional output has been the following publication: Steele K.A., Ogden R., McEwing R.

Glossary Adulterant Rice variety not listed as an approved basmati Base pair (bp) Unit of DNA sequence with 1 bp representing one nucleotide Microsatellite Simple sequence repeat INDEL Insertion/deletion. Sequence of DNA that differs between varieties. some varieties contain an extra insertion, others do not contain this, and are said to contain a deletion ISSR Inter simple sequence repeat. PCR primers are based on the repeat sequence itself and multiple fragments are amplified, representing locations of the repeat in different regions throughout the genome. Multiplex PCR where more than one region is amplified simultaneously to give multiple fragments. It requires a combination of primer pairs to be mixed into the reaction and each pair targets one region. PCR Polymerase chain reaction Polymorphism Heritable variants that are present in a population. Usually polymorphic DNA fragments are fixed within a rice variety, so they can be used as markers for that variety. Rim2/Hipa This is a type of repeat sequence known as a transposon sequence. The primers are specific to the transposon which is present in multiple locations throughout the genome. The length of DNA sequence between the primers varies in different locations, and between different varieties, leading to polymorphism. Simple Repetitive DNA sequence or microsatellite; usually a di- sequence nucleotide, e.g. (AT)n or tri-nucleotide (e.g. (GTC)n repeat, repeat (SSR) where n is the number of repeats. In any one variety n is fixed, but it is different in different varieties. The PCR primers used to amplify SSRs are designed from non-repetitive flanking sequences that are unique, so they only target one region of the genome at a time. Standard Approved sample of a named variety from an approved source. Variety standards must be 100% pure. Quantitative standards are made from mixing two variety standards in known proportions by weight. Page 5 of 27 3. Aims and Objectives of the Investigation 3.1 Why is enforcement needed for basmati rice? A code of practice was issued in July 2005 by The Rice Association, 2005. It lists the varieties that are currently approved by the Indian and Pakistani authorities that can use the description „basmati‟, and lays down the minimum specifications and labelling requirements for basmati rice sold in the UK. The maximum limit for non-basmati rice is 7%. This code of practice replaces the FSA‟s previous guidance on the use of the term „basmati‟ and it came into practice for all products labelled after January 1st 2006. There are import duties on rice for entry into Europe as specified by the European Commission Regulation 1549/2004. For premium basmati varieties from India and Pakistan there was complete exemption from EU duty payments in 2004, representing a saving of at least €65 per tonne. The reduction in duty is decreasing, and currently stands at 50%.

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.

Information regarding the stability of genotypes is critical in expanding the adaptability of released genotypes. But, this information regarding the basmati (scented) rice genotypes cultivated under north Indian conditions are not well known. Therefore, here we have evaluated the twenty-two basmati rice genotypes for stability, based on important traits, and different production system. Genotypes were evaluated for two consecutive Kharif seasons under open field conditions in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The genotypes were evaluated under four production systems namely, transplanted rice (TPR), system of rice intensification (SRI), direct seeded rice (DSR) in both settings, i.e. wet DSR (W) and dry DSR (D). The stability of genotypes was determined via Eberhart and Russell model, additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI), and genotype × environment interaction (GGE) biplot model. The stability and adaptability studied using Eberhart and Russell model, AMMI and GGE biplot identified Basmati-370 as the most stable genotype for biological weight; Pusa RH-10 for filled spikelet; CSR-30 for spikelet Number; and Traori Basmati for test grain weight.

    A Study on the Preparation of Modified Starch from Broken Rice

    J. Myanmar Acad. Arts Sci. 2020 Vol. XVIII. No.1C A STUDY ON THE PREPARATION OF MODIFIED STARCH FROM BROKEN RICE Htet Htet Aung1, Khin Hla Mon2, Ohnmar Kyi3, Mon Mon Maung4,Aye Aye Aung5 Abstract This research was emphasized on the preparation of modified broken rice starch using both acid treatment method and cross-link method. Broken rice (Paw Hsan Hmwe) was collected from Bago Township, Bago Region. The most suitable parameters for the preparation of native starch were 1:8 (w/v) ratio of broken rice to water at 4 hr settling time. The optimum conditions for the preparation of modified broken rice starch by acid treatment were 1 mL of 10% HCl, 1mL of 1% NaOH at reaction temperature 65C for 15 min of reaction time. In cross-link method, the optimum parameters were 5mL of 2.5% sodium tripolyphosphate,5mL of 1% NaOH, 5mL of 5 % HCl at 45C for 10 min. The characteristics of modified starch such as ash, moisture, pH and gelatinization temperature, solubility, swelling power, amylose and amylopectin content were determined. The morphology properties, molecular components and structures of native and modified broken rice were determined with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and FT-IR Analysis. Keywords: Native starches, acid treatment method, cross-link method Introduction Starch is a basis of food and plays a major role in industrial economy. The most abundant substance in nature is starch. Starch consists of semi crystalline carbohydrate synthesized in plant roots, seeds, rhizomes and tubers. It is a polymer of glucose and consists of two types of glucose polymers such as amylose and amylopectin.

The short stature of this variety is due to a loss-of-function of the SD1 gene that encodes a GA20 oxidase-2 (GA20ox-2) which catalyzes late steps of gibberellin biosynthesis. In this study, we inves- tigated how widely sd1 mutations have been employed in the generation of semi-dwarf varieties of rice. Ge- netic and molecular analyses revealed that the sd1 allele of IR8 has been used in the production of japonica varieties. Sequence analysis of the SD1 locus of 57 semi-dwarf varieties showed that at least 7 sd1 alleles have been used in the breeding of semi-dwarf rice varieties in China, USA and Japan. The utilization of such a high number of different alleles all controlling the same target trait highlights that mutations in GA20ox-2 induce an agronomically advantageous architecture in rice.

Compared with the culm length of variety Koshihikari (mean, 88.8 cm), that of the semidwarf or double dwarf lines carrying Jukkoku_sd1, IR8_sd1, d60, Jukkoku_sd1 plus d60, or IR8_sd1 plus d60 was shortened to 71.8 cm, 68.5 cm, 65.7 cm, 48.6 cm, and 50.3 cm, respectively. Compared with the yield of Koshihikari (mean, 665.3 g/m2), that of the line carrying Jukkoku_sd1 allele showed the highest value (772.6 g/m2, 16.1% higher than Koshihikari), while that of IR8_sd1, d60 and IR8_sd1 plus d60, was slightly decreased by 7.1%, 5.5%, and 9.7% respectively. The line carrying Jukkoku_sd1 also showed the highest value in number of panicles and florets/panicle, 16.2% and 11.1% higher than in Koshihikari, respectively, and these effects were responsible for the increases in yield.

    Rice Free Diet Rice Is One of the Most Common Causes of Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) in Australia

    Departments of Nutrition & Dietetics and Allergy/Immunology Rice Free Diet Rice is one of the most common causes of food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in Australia. It is an extremely rare cause of immediate food allergy. .. It is important to avoid all forms of rice if you have been diagnosed with a rice allergy. Rice can be found in unexpected foods, so you must always read food labels carefully. Foods that must be avoided: All kinds of rice: brown, white, jasmine, basmati, wild, Arborio, sticky, jasmati, glutinous etc. All kinds of rice flour: brown, rice, Cereals: rice bran, puffed rice, rice bread/wraps, rice pasta, rice noodles, rice paper Oils: rice bran oil Sauces: mirin, rice vinegar, thickening agents. Where you are likely to find rice: Biscuits and crackers e.g. shortbread, rice crackers, rice cakes. Breads e.g. breads containing rice flour, rice bread, rice mountain bread. Foods from diverse cultures e.g. paella, risotto, arancini balls, fried rice, biryani, burritos, fajitas, burger patties, fritters, sushi, nougat, dumplings. Cereals e.g. rice bubbles, muesli, rice puffs, muesli bars. Drinks: rice milk Gluten free and health food products e.g. cake mixes, breads, packaged foods. Puddings e.g. rice pudding, black rice pudding, cakes made with rice flour. Packaged foods e.g. muesli bars, biscuits, rice wheels, rice sticks. Party foods e.g. chocolate crackles, slices, cakes. Noodles and pasta e.g. vermicelli, rice noodles. Wrappings e.g. rice paper rolls, rice paper (sweet). Mineral and vitamin tablets Sausages (many will have rice flour as a filler) What you can use: It is best to discuss with your doctor which other grains apart from rice your child can have.
