Article Synopsis
- - Late-season indica rice in southern China suffers from low temperature (LT) and low light (LL) after heading, which negatively impacts grain quality by altering starch properties, particularly its structure and physicochemical characteristics.
- - Two rice cultivars, one with good grain quality and the other with poor quality, were tested under control, LT, and LT + LL conditions; results showed that both stressors worsened starch properties, indicating changes in branch chain structure and reduced crystallinity.
- - The combination of LT and LL during grain filling led to greater deterioration in starch properties, especially in the poor-quality cultivar, with significant correlations found between amylose content, starch branching, and gelatinization characteristics.
