Starches extracted from two dominant varieties of rice, Basmati and Irri were subjected to acid hydrolysis by preparing starch slurry of 35% (w/v) in HCl solutions of concentrations 0.1M, 0.3M and 0.8M. The scanning electron micrographs showed that granular morphology of starches significantly changed after acid hydrolysis. Acid thinning improved the solubility of starches whereas decline was observed in swelling power and water retention capacity. Paste clarity of both acid treated Basmati and Irri rice starches reduced gradually upon cold storage. Also reduction in values of pasting, peak viscosity, hot paste viscosity, cold paste viscosity and set back were observed in acid thinned Basmati and Irri rice starches. The DE values increased with the increase in HCl concentration for both Basmati and Irri starch. The hardness of 0.8M HCl treated Basmati starch gel was found significantly lower than all treated and untreated starches. The gelatinization enthalpy for Basmati starch significantly reduced after acid hydrolysis with 0.1M, 0.3M and 0.8M HCl solutions at p <0.05.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on improving plantlet regeneration in tissue culture by utilizing iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO-NPs) as a nutrient source in Murashige and Skoog (MS) media to enhance callus formation and control contamination.
- - The results showed that FeO-NPs significantly increased callus induction and regeneration rates compared to regular MS media, with notable improvements in callus weight, diameter, and root/shoot numbers, indicating a more effective growth environment.
- - Applying FeO-NPs as a foliar spray led to substantial increases in biomass, height, and chlorophyll content in two rice varieties, while also enhancing enzymatic activities that help plants respond to stress, suggesting that this approach could be beneficial for
Identification of biochemical indices for brown spot (Bipolaris oryzae) disease resistance in rice mutants and hybrids.

Brown spot caused by Bipolaris oryzae is a major damaging fungal disease of rice which can decrease the yield and value of produce due to grain discoloration. The objectives of the current study were to investigate and understand the biochemical indices of brown spot disease resistance in rice. A total of 108 genotypes (mutant and hybrid) along with Super Basmati and parent RICF-160 were evaluated against brown spot disease.

Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Karachi, 75270 Karachi, Pakistan. Electronic address:
Present study investigated the preparation of commonly used white sauce with 50 % less added fat by using 10 % hydroypropylated Irri and Basmati rice starches in the formulation. The sauces incorporated with hydroxypropylated starches exhibited significantly lower gelatinization temperature and time, while the change in maximum viscosity was insignificant. Significantly improved stability at ambient, refrigeration, and freezing temperatures of reduced-fat white sauces was observed whereas change in the taste was insignificant.

Nitrogen (N) is an important macronutrient needed for grain yield, grain N and grain protein content in rice. Grain yield and quality are significantly determined by N availability. In this study, to understand the mechanisms associated with reproductive stage N remobilization and N partitioning to grain 2 years of field experiments were conducted with 30 diverse rice genotypes during 2019-Kharif and 2020-Kharif seasons.

There is a recent unparalleled increase in demand for rice in sub-Saharan Africa, yet its production is affected by blast disease. Characterization of blast resistance in adapted African rice cultivars can provide important information to guide growers and rice breeders. We used molecular markers for known blast resistance genes ( genes; = 21) to group African rice genotypes ( = 240) into similarity clusters.
