Uncovering genetic determinants of antioxidant properties in Thai landrace rice through genome-wide association analysis.

Pigmented rice (Oryza sativa L.) is recognized as a source of natural antioxidant compounds, such as flavonoids, oryzanol, tocopherol, and anthocyanin. Because of their nutritional benefits, anthocyanin-enriched or pigmented rice varieties are feasible alternatives for promoting human health.

Profiling of Key Hub Genes Using a Two-State Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network of 'Jao Khao' Rice under Soil Salinity Stress Based on Time-Series Transcriptome Data.

RNA-sequencing enables the comprehensive detection of gene expression levels at specific time points and facilitates the identification of stress-related genes through co-expression network analysis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms and identifying key genes associated with salt tolerance is crucial for developing rice varieties that can thrive in saline environments, particularly in regions affected by soil salinization. In this study, we conducted an RNA-sequencing-based time-course transcriptome analysis of 'Jao Khao', a salt-tolerant Thai rice variety, grown under normal or saline (160 mM NaCl) soil conditions.

Genome-wide identification of CAMTA genes and their expression dependence on light and calcium signaling during seedling growth and development in mung bean.

Background: Calmodulin-binding transcription activator (CAMTA) is comprised of a group of transcription factors and plays an important role in the Ca signaling pathway, mediating various molecular responses via interactions with other transcription factors and binding to the promoter region of specific genes. Mung beans (Vigna radiata) are one of the most commonly consumed commodities in Asia. To date, CAMTA proteins have not been characterized in this important crop plant.

Sequence-based analysis of the rice CAMTA family: haplotype and network analyses.

The calmodulin-binding transcription activator (CAMTA) family contributes to stress responses in many plant species. The Oryza sativa ssp. japonica genome harbors seven CAMTA genes; however, intraspecific variation and functional roles of this gene family have not been determined.

Phenolic content discrimination in Thai holy basil using hyperspectral data analysis and machine learning techniques.

Hyperspectral imaging has emerged as a powerful tool for the non-destructive assessment of plant properties, including the quantification of phytochemical contents. Traditional methods for antioxidant analysis in holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum L.) are time-consuming, while hyperspectral imaging has the potential to rapidly observe holy basil.
