. Field research was conducted in 1988 and 1989 to compare effects of clethodim, fenoxaprop, haloxyfop, and sethoxydim each applied singly and sequentially at full (IX) and reduced (0.5X) rates on barnyardgrass, bearded sprangletop, and rice. A tank-mixture of propanil plus thiobencarb (2.2 + 2.2 kg ha*" 1 ) applied sequentially was included as a standard treatment. Control of barnyardgrass and bearded sprangletop was equal to that of the standard treatment both years with IX rates of clethodim and fenoxaprop, and with 0.5X rates of clethodim, fenoxaprop, and sethoxydim each applied after prop...

The work plan includes agreements on major projects supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: Stress-tolerant rice for poor farmers in Africa and South Asia; the Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA); Creating the second green revolution by supercharging photosynthesis: C 4 rice and several other on-going research projects.

Tissue culture and genetic engineering in rice, and Synthesis and perspectives (S. Tsunoda).

Common (Asian) rice was domesticated in the area between north India and the Pacific coast adjoining Vietnam and China. Rice cultivation began when the hunting, fishing, and food-gathering inhabitants near the rivers and along the foothills dropped seeds into low-lying fields. Land preparation, transplanting, and irrigation were largely developed in the Yellow-Han River basins, spreading later to Southeast Asia. As rice culture expanded from the naturally flooded areas into fringe areas where the water was deep or the soil was mesic, human and natural selection greatly accelerated the developm...

A Famous Balinese dancer once said that a great artist is a farmer. This is more than just a metaphor, for farmers and artists have much in common indeed. For farmer, the fields are their source of life; for artists creating and performing keep them alive.

This publication project has attracted some controversy because of the willingness to allow the authors at Syngenta to make their data available through a means other than GenBank, and the decision to allow an exception to the GenBank rule in the case of the rice sequence.

Rice can be described as a functional food with medicinal value because its mineral content, starch quality, glycemic index, and antioxidant activity has made rice unique among cereals.

This book presents comprehensive overviews covering topics ranging from the rice plant and varieties to rice structure and composition, and the functionality of its components. Postharvest processing technologies for drying, storage and those for making traditional and new value-added products are discussed in detail. New nutritional findings are also presented.

The story of rice is supposed to be about 7000 years old, starting as descendent of grass. It kept on spreading and migrating from its probable place of origin the Himalayas. In some studies it is originated after the domestication of the cereals began and early cultivation occurred in Yangtze River [1]. Today it is feeding half the population on the planet [2,3]. It has been evolving and diversifying since the time it was first considered to be a food commodity. It has a splendid history and has been part of cultures and traditions. Along with many other antique writings we find it’s mentione...

The invention provides processes for the production of a composition comprising material derived from seeds of plants of the genus Oryza, which material comprises at least one iminosugar for lowering the glycaemic index (GI) value of said food or feed.

Rice is a staple food for millions of populations in the world and originated from a wild grass to a crop. The Asian civilization was built on rice. The rice cultivation changed the lives of hunters into farmers. The domestication of rice in India dates back to the 7th millennium BC. Due to industrialization, the traditional practice of hand pounding was overtaken by rice processing mills, which led to the production of white polished rice, devoid of many nutrients. Studies confirmed that higher consumption of white rice increased the risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, high in India...

This paper assesses the impact of rice research on household food security in Tanzania. The adoption of research-based innovations in rice farming, on which the impact of rice research is assumed to depend, is outlined. Rice production and consumption levels are presented. The paper shows that farmers produce rice for meeting a range of livelihood outcomes, including food security. However, meeting household needs such as education, health and building good houses are as important as food security. In this context, it is argued that food security should be understood within the framework of ho...

Consumers commonly rank the varieties of rice eaten throughout Burkina Faso in a hierarchy of taste. This article is intended to show that although the ranking is based on the food’s physical qualities, it is also an expression of common representations of power that have a long history, one that contributes to defining “the taste of rice” and making it into both a sensory and a political value in Burkinabe society.

The rice theory of culture is the idea that rice farming societies developed into more interdependent, tight cultures in response to the demands of the plant. Farming in general is an interdependent subsistence style, but traditional paddy rice farming was starkly different from other major crops like wheat, corn, and potatoes. Paddy rice required twice as much labor per hectare as wheat farming. Farmers responded by creating customs to share labor. Paddy rice also depended on irrigation systems to flood and drain the fields. Once farmers controlled water, they now had to coordinate how much w...

Some biological activities which are related to rice and its products are decreasing low density lipoprotein level, lowering cholesterol, reducing blood pressure and preventing colorectal cancer.

signs. The chief terms to denote synthetic characters are: (I) constancy (la Constance, Gesellschaftsstetigheit), depending upon the number of sample areas of the association in which the species occurs; and (2) fidelity or exclusiveness (la fidelity, Gesellschaftstreue), the degree to which the species is confined to the association. Five degrees of these two qualities are recognized. Other terms which have beed more widely used and more commonly understood are also included in this useful list.-GEO. D. FULLER.
