Microbes play an important role in the food chain by metabolizing organic matter, cycling nutrients, and maintaining a dynamic equilibrium among organisms in water and sediment. The objective is to study the fluctuating taxonomic microbial diversity profile in the sediment-water interface at...

The mangrove red snapper, Lutjanus argentimaculatus, is a marine food fish of economic and aquaculture importance. The application of genomic selection-based breeding programs for this species is limited by the absence of a reference genome and transcriptome profiles. The current study attem...

A spreadsheet tool to assist in the spatial assessment of thermal severity for livestock using the Thermal Humidity Index (THI) was developed. The THI threshold limits for classifying thermal stress into low, medium, and high categories have been determined based on published literature...

Pomegranate is an ancient fruit renowned for its exceptional nutritional value and is deeply rooted in traditional health-care systems. In hot arid climate, pomegranates exhibit three distinct flowering seasons, traditionally known as "ambe, mrig and hasta bahar‖. The choice of bahar to...

Tree species in the arid and semi-arid regions use various strategies to combat drought stress. Ziziphus nummularia (Burm. f.) Wight et Arn., native to the Thar Desert in India, is highly drought-tolerant. To identify the most drought tolerant ecotype of Z. nummularia, ...

Due to climate change, the increased frequency and severity of droughts pose a substantial danger to the viability of livestock-dependent small farmers in arid and semi-arid regions. Poor livestock productivity, caused mainly by the alarming feed and fodder crisis, is a significant caus...

The impacts of different methods of rice grain processing like cooking, parboiling and fermentation on various bioactive components, antioxidant activity, predicted glycemic index (pGI), resistant starch (RS) along with pasting properties in three rice cultivars were investigated. Results showe...

Diverse, traditional landraces of indica rice with varying pigmentations are grown at the foothills of Eastern Himalayas. Interaction between two rice genes Rc and Rd is the major determining factor for diverse pigmentations. Rd regulates the synthesis of anthocyanidin, whereas Rc...

BACKGROUND: High resistant starch (RS) rice with a low glycemic index (GI) is digested more slowly, resulting in a slow increase in the postprandial blood glucose level. People with milled rice as a staple diet, and with sedentary lifestyles, are more prone to acquire&#...

Development of rice genotypes possessing high yielding potential; with increased grain iron content is the need of the hour to tackle hidden hunger. Considering the above said fact, genetical analysis was conducted in six improved cultivars along with 15 potential crosses thereof...

Rice bran is the outer pericarp of the rice endosperm. It is the underutilized milling bi-product of rice, which is generally used for cattle feeds and extraction of oil. However, the whole bran is packed with many essential bioactive molecules and fibers, which have&#x...

Six NRRI released rice varieties were evaluated for Fe and Zn content after 30s, 60s and 90s of milling as compared to unmilled rice. The milling was done by the laboratory grade miller machine (Satake , Japan). The minerals content was estimated through microwave digestion&#x...

Glutinous rice (GR) contains low (0-5%) amylose, making it very soft and sticky. It is also called as the Waxy rice as it appears like uncarved wax after cooking. Amylopectin component of starch is responsible for the stickiness of glutinous rice. Stickiness is not specific&#x...

Abstract Rice responds to individual N and P deficiencies through root traits’ modifications and characteristic starvation responses. The genomic regions associated with combined deficiencies of N and P are less reported, though the combinatorial regulation of N and P deficiencies&#x...

ABSTRACT The future of reactive nitrogen (N) for subtropical lowland rice to be characterised under diverse N-management to develop adequate sustainable practices. It is a challenge to increase the efficiency of N use in lowland rice, as N can be lost in various w...

Surge in diabetes cases and its expensive management cost are major constraints leading to reduced rice consumption. Therefore, screening of low glycaemic index (GI) rice along with better cooking quality is a cost-effective approach for diabetes management. In 103 diverse rice g...

BACKGROUND: Rice is considered a high estimated glycemic index (eGI) food because of its higher starch digestibility, which leads to type II diabetes and obesity as a result of a sedentary life style. Furthermore, the increasing diabetes cases in rice consuming populations worldwide...

Rice-based integrated farming system improves the productivity and profitability by recycling resources efficiently. In the sub-humid tropics, rice production without sufficient nutrient replenishment often leads to soil health and fertility degradation. There has been very limited research on ...

Plants establish a specific assembly of soil microbiota around them, hence it’s our duty to synchronize their preference with the latest technology. In this context, a microfluidic based scalable process has been developed for the assembling of the microbiota in such a way th...
