2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) is a key volatile organic compound in fragrant rice aroma. However, the effects of temperature on 2-AP biosynthesis in fragrant rice and its regulation mechanism have been rarely reported. In the present study, three fragrant rice varieties were used as plant materials, and four temperature treatments during the grain-filling stage, i.

Organic cultivation is an eco-friendly planting strategy. To explore the effects of organic cultivation on yield, grain quality, and volatile organic compounds of fragrant rice, the present study conducted a field experiment with organic cultivation and inorganic cultivation treatments over two subsequent growing seasons. The late season rice was sent for the determination of untargeted flavoromics using GC × GC-ToF-MS.

Proline is one of the precursors of the biosynthesis of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) which is the key and characteristic volatile component of fragrant rice aroma. In order to study the effects of exogenous proline on 2-AP biosynthesis and other grain quality attributes in fragrant rice, two indica fragrant rice cultivars, "Meixiangzhan-2" and "Xiangyaxiangzhan", and one japonica fragrant rice, "Yunjingyou", were used in present study. At initial heading stage, proline solutions at 0 (CK), 0.

Zero-tillage is one of conservation tillage techniques. In order to investigate the effects of continuous zero-tillage on yield formation and grain 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP, key component of fragrant rice aroma) content of fragrant rice, present study was conducted with a six-season field experiment from 2017 to 2019. The conventional tillage (twice puddling with rotary cultivator before transplanting) was set as control (CK) and zero-tillage was set as treatment (ZT).
