This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents an original research contribution in the area of aroma volatile biochemistry and the molecular analysis of basmati and non-basmati rice cultivars of India. It demonstrates the utility of headspace-solid phase micro extraction (HS-SPME) coupled with the gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) method, an approach that can help to understand not only the different volatiles contributing to pleasant aroma but also the volatile profile that generates the characteristic cultivar-specific aroma. In addition, the book provides detailed information on diversity, grain morphology, physico-chemical and cooking quality assessment, genetic diversity assessment and marker validation for important quality parameters. As such, it offers a valuable ready reference for agriculture scientists, biochemists, researchers and students involved in quality parameters of rice at the regional and global level.
Download or read book DNA Markers written by Gustavo Caetano-Anollés and published by Wiley-Liss. This book was released on 1997-09-16 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the four decades since the discovery of DNA, molecular genetics and biotechnology have undergone a revolution in the research and application of genetic testing techniques. As a result, these fields have witnessed an explosion of both information and controversy, and the focus of public awareness of the significance of molecular biotechnology in everyday life has leaped from journal abstracts to front-page news. Molecular biotechnology provides important tools for the identification of specific nucleic acid sequences, some of them linked to important traits such as those conferring resistance to disease. Such DNA markers are used commonly in genetic research and in other applications, such as DNA fingerprinting. Researchers can use DNA markers to follow individual traits in different environments and hosts, increasing our understanding of the constitution, diversity, and evolution of genetic material. DNA Markers: Protocols, Applications, and Overviews offers valuable new information on this rapidly growing field. This compendium of research highlights the most recently discovered DNA markers and their application to the analyses of genomes of low and high complexity, with a focus on recently developed DNA marker systems as tools for DNA fingerprinting, genome analysis, molecular systematics, taxonomy, and phylogenetic analysis. The Protocols section of the book contains detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to perform selected DNA marker experiments, providing a useful laboratory tool.

Download or read book Molecular Characterization and Genetic Variation in Rice written by M. Mamunur Rahman and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular characterization and genetic divergence among 21 T. Aman rice cultivars was assessed in this study. It seemed that eight morphological characters exhibited that they were controlled by additive gene action and selection based on these traits would be rewarding. Among 14 physiological traits, flag leaf area, days to maturity, LAI at PI, CGR at PI and flowering, RGR at flowering and harvest index could be suitable criteria for selection. Multivariate analysis was carried out by SPSS v 12.0 and GENSTAT v 5.5 softwares based on morphological and physiological traits. GENSTAT was found more efficient than SPSS program for diversity studies. A total of 143 alleles were detected with 34 SSR markers where 85 were frequent allele, 57 were rare allele and 42 were unique allele. Alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 11 alleles, with an average of 4.21 alleles. PIC values ranged from 0.157 to 0.838 with an average of 0.488. Eight SSR markers viz. RM10713, RM279, RM424, RM6266, RM1155, RM289, RM20224 and RM5371 amplified specific alleles only in aromatic rice varieties. It was revealed that molecular diversity was best followed by morphological diversity.

Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. By 2050, human population is expected to reach 9.7 billion. The demand for increased food production needs to be met from ever reducing resources of land, water and other environmental constraints. Rice remains the staple food source for a majority of the global populations, but especially in Asia where ninety percent of rice is grown and consumed. Climate change continues to impose abiotic and biotic stresses that curtail rice quality and yields. Researchers have been challenged to provide innovative solutions to maintain, or even increase, rice production. Amongst them, the ‘green super rice’ breeding strategy has been successful for leading the development and release of multiple abiotic and biotic stress tolerant rice varieties. Recent advances in plant molecular biology and biotechnologies have led to the identification of stress responsive genes and signaling pathways, which open up new paradigms to augment rice productivity. Accordingly, transcription factors, protein kinases and enzymes for generating protective metabolites and proteins all contribute to an intricate network of events that guard and maintain cellular integrity. In addition, various quantitative trait loci associated with elevated stress tolerance have been cloned, resulting in the detection of novel genes for biotic and abiotic stress resistance. Mechanistic understanding of the genetic basis of traits, such as N and P use, is allowing rice researchers to engineer nutrient-efficient rice varieties, which would result in higher yields with lower inputs. Likewise, the research in micronutrients biosynthesis opens doors to genetic engineering of metabolic pathways to enhance micronutrients production. With third generation sequencing techniques on the horizon, exciting progress can be expected to vastly improve molecular markers for gene-trait associations forecast with increasing accuracy. This book emphasizes on the areas of rice science that attempt to overcome the foremost limitations in rice production. Our intention is to highlight research advances in the fields of physiology, molecular breeding and genetics, with a special focus on increasing productivity, improving biotic and abiotic stress tolerance and nutritional quality of rice.
