Chilling is one of the major abiotic stress which limites yield and quality of many crops. The seedlings of rice varieties namely Koshihikari (Japonica subtype) chilling tolerant, and the susceptible NMR2 (Indica subtype) were treated at 25/15 °C and 5/4 °C day/night to determine the growth parameters, phenolic contents, and antioxidant activity. It was found that in all treatments, the growth of...
Rice is one of the main source of food calories in the world, especially in Asia where the people eat it more than any other food. The goal of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity, grain traits and quality contents in Afghanistan’s selected rice varieties. The antioxidant capacity was measured using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and Reducing Power methods. Grain length, grain...
The present study examined the correlation between phenolic acids and flavonoids with high and low yield traits of rice. It was observed that the difference of phenolic contents among the tested rice lines occurred only at the vegetative stage. The concentrations of phenolic acids were higher in the high yield cultivars than low yield varieties at the vegetative stage, but they either decreased dramatically...
Ochna integerrima is a medicinal and ornamental plant, is widely distributed in Southeast Asia areas. In Vietnam, it has been ranked as the rare and endangered species due to its high demand trade of the beautiful species. In this study, total 21 Ochna samples, collected from the northern and southern areas, were used to characterize the morphological traits using morphological analyses and molecular...
Lactic acid has been known as one of compounds to cause cellular harm in waterlogged tissues through the process of cytoplasmic acidosis. The effects of lactic acid on α-amylase activity and phytic acid (myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexaphosphate) content using an assay for high phosphate in the germination stage of rice were evaluated. It is showed that lactic acid inhibited rice germination at every...
Analysis of genetic diversity of 90 Vietnamese local-colored rice accessions was carried out using 40 SSR markers. The numbers of polymorphic alleles ranged from 3 to 12 alleles per locus and average of 7.1 alleles per locus. The similarity coefficients of the rice landraces fluctuated from 0.76 to 0.93; at a genetic correlation level of 0.78. Ninety accessions of rice landraces were divided into...
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a principle crop as the main economic importance in Vietnam, providing daily food for over 90 million people in this country. However, a large rice growing areas and rice production are being seriously affected by salinity intrusion, the threats of devastation from climate change. The need to develop salinity tolerance rice varieties to cope with adverse climate change is...
Rice blast fungus (Pyricularia grisea) is one of the most problematic pathogen to significantly reduce rice production worldwide. In this study, after being inoculated with P. grisea, changes in phenolic components and antioxidant capacity and correlation with the resistant level against rice blast fungus were investigated. Among screened rice cultivars, AV-3 was the strongest resistant, whereas BII-3...
Individual marking is necessary for determining various elements of species ecology, but toe-clipping — a method frequently used in amphibian studies, is recently being questioned. Three water bodies (of 0.3 to 1.5 ha in size) used by common Bufo bufo for breeding, located within a large city (Warsaw, Central Poland), were chosen for the study. Captured toads had Passive Integrated Transponders (PIT)...
The objectives of this study were to determine the dominant frequency of plant species, and provide useful information toward the conservation management of animal feed in grazing areas, Hiroshima, Japan. The numbers of plant species were 32 and 21 in spring and summer, respectively. The appearance frequency of plant species more than 50% in the spring, consist of Veronica arvensis (75.57%), Trifolium...
