    The Italian rice is not a commodity Paolo Carrà Chairman of the Board of Directors Ente Nazionale Risi Brussels, 4 June 2018 Ente Nazionale Risi is a public Agency supervised by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture which aims to protect the national rice production. Italy is the first rice producer in the EU Italy 52.20% Spain 25.80% Portugal 6.97% Greece 5.49% France 4.66% Romania 2.44% Bulgaria 1.78% Hungary 0.66% The Italian rice production represents 0.2% of the world rice production The names of some rice varieties grown in Italy (e.g. Carnaroli, Arborio, Vialone nano) are as important as trademarks. The rice grown in EU has been recognized by the European Commission as a public good from the environmental point of view. The rice grown in EU is sustainable from the environmental point of view and it is healthy for consumers. The rice imported into the EU is not always healthy and environmentally friendly. Sometimes the Basmati rice imported into the EU contains the fungicide Carbendazim which is banned in EU. During 2006 traces of a variety of unapproved GM rice were found in imports into EU from USA. In Italy there is the collective brand «Riso Italiano» managed by Ente Nazionale Risi. This brand guarantees the origin, nature and quality of the rice sold by Italian operators. The brand «Riso Italiano» was a good answer to the issue of unapproved GM rice imported from USA. The European rice, in particular the Italian rice, is different from rice grown in the rest of the world because it is not a commodity.

  • 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 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.

  • Cooking Quality of Sake Rice Variety “Yamadanishiki”
    日本調理科学会誌 Vol.Cooking Quality of Sake 46，No. Rice 3，213～220（2013）Variety “Yamadanishiki”〔Note〕 Cooking Quality of Sake Rice Variety “Yamadanishiki” Tomochika Mizuma*§ In the present study, the cooking quality of the major sake rice variety Yamadanishiki was compared with that of the table-rice variety Koshihikari.（1） Yamadanishiki characteristically contains a certain percentage of white-core grains（grains having a white opaque structure in the center） apart from ordinary non white-core grains. The water absorption rate of white-core grains was higher than that of their ordinary non white-core counterparts. This difference in the water absorption rates could be associated with uneven cooking, particularly if the soaking periods were insufficient. （2） When compared to Koshihikari, Yamadanishiki yielded a larger volume of cooked rice from a smaller amount of raw rice. Sensory texture evaluation showed that cooked Yamadanishiki rice had a good eating quality that was comparable to Koshihikari.（3） Cooked Yamadanishiki rice showed unique texture properties（hard, elastic, and less sticky） that were not found in Koshihikari. From the above results, the application of the unique texture of Yamadanishiki rice in cooking is expected in the future.（4） These texture properties and the cooking quality of Yamadanishiki appear to be related to the high amylose content and unique characteristics of sake rice （i.e., white-core structure and large-sized kernels）.

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. Key Words: rice, semi-dwarf, sd1, IR8. Introduction (IRRI), contributed to the green revolution in Asia.

We conducted the research in the Laboratory of Crop Science of Ibaraki University, Japan during February in 2018, to clarify the physicochemical and morphological traits on different local rice varieties. The results demonstrated that local rice varieties (Sarda Barah, Garma Barah, Surkha Zurahti and Shah Lawangi) from Afghanistan including Super Basmati (Check) with long and slender grains, associated with significantly higher grain amylose and protein contents of 22.9 and 8.1%, respectively, which created in declined taste points. While, Koshihikari with short and medium grain types demonstrated the lowest grain amylose and protein contents of 17.7 and 5.5%, respectively, which amplified grain taste point. The micrographs observations revealed that there were no obvious alterations in the endosperm of translucent grains across varieties.
