Rice geographical traceability requires analytical procedures and data evaluation capable of linking its composition to the producing area. In this work, major and trace elements in soil and rice grains and husk from 9 cities and 17 producers were evaluated. Arsenic species were measured solely in rice grains. The rice mineral profile evaluated by principal component analysis allowed the identification of controlling variables and origin fingerprints. Vectors controlling data variability were linked to the geographical area, to crop management, producers and in a lower extent to soil composition. Elemental discrimination through 3D models was proposed. Arsenic species in the grains and elemental husk composition were decisive to achieve the required discrimination. Rice discrimination was obtained by cities, producers and varieties. The present work model was compared with others from similar studies.

Effective blood glucose management is essential for individuals with type 1 diabetes, particularly when dietary adjustments involve staple foods like rice. As a primary carbohydrate worldwide, rice significantly influences the glycemic index (GI) based on its type and cooking method. This study investigated the impact of rice type and boiling duration on the GI in healthy adults using an in vivo approach aligned with ISO 2010 standards.

Rice is a critical crop for human sustenance worldwide. Food security has increasingly attracted public concerns, particularly due to heavy metal pollution, which adversely impacts crop yield and quality, with cadmium and mercury being the primary culprits. Excessive soil mercury not only hampers rice's growth and development but also leads to a substantial accumulation in grains, posing a significant threat to human health.

Yield-related traits have higher heritability and lower genotype-by-environment interaction, making them more suitable for genetic studies in comparison with the yield per se. Different populations have been developed and employed in QTL mapping; however, the use of reciprocal SSSLs is limited. In this study, three kinds of bi-parental populations were used to investigate the stable and novel QTLs on six yield-related traits, i.

Effectiveness of Juvenile in Controlling and Their Growth and Nutritional Response to Feeding on the Snail.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent invasions of rice fields in Asia by pests have caused major agricultural losses, prompting a study on using juvenile crabs for biological control against these pests.
  • Research shows juvenile crabs preferentially feed on small snails, managing snail populations effectively at densities of 600 per tank, which significantly affects snail survival and activity.
  • Feeding on snails improves juvenile crabs' physiology, leading to hormonal and nutritional changes, with females showing higher energy yields and males increasing their lipid levels, which could enhance crab farming practices.
