Porous starch is attractive by providing high surface area for many applications. In this study amyloglucosidase (AMG) and maltogenic α-amylase (MA) were investigated in direct comparison to elucidate potential effects in producing porous starch using high amylose rice starch as a substrate. Both enzymes generated pores at the surface as illustrated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The enzyme-treated granules had higher relative crystallinity as deduced from Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS). MA treatment increased the number of short amylopectin chains and decreased the molecular weight with extended incubation time. The MA-treated starch had higher solubility whereas swelling capacity, amylose content, peak viscosity, final viscosity, breakdown and setback of both treatments were decreased compared to the control. Enzymatic treatments produced starch with delayed gelatinization temperature and increased the enthalpy. The results demonstrate that porous rice starch can provide different functionalities depending on the enzyme mechanisms, extending the range of applications.

Molecular Mechanisms of Grain Chalkiness Variation in Rice Panicles.
Plants (Basel)
January 2025
Rice Research Institute, Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Hefei 230031, China.
Grain chalkiness adversely affects rice quality, and the positional variation of grain chalkiness within a rice panicle presents a substantial obstacle to quality improvement in China. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this variation is unclear. This study conducted a genetic and physiological analysis of grains situated at distinct positions (upper, middle, and bottom primary branches of the rice panicle, denoted as Y1, Y2, and Y3) within a rice panicle using the Yangdao 6 variety.

Salt stress is an important factor affecting the growth and development of rice, and prohexadione calcium (Pro-Ca) plays an important role in alleviating rice salt stress and improving rice yield. However, there are few studies on how Pro-Ca improves rice yield under salt stress by regulating the source-sink metabolism. In this study, we used Guanghong 3 (salt-tolerant variety) and Huanghuazhan (salt-sensitive variety) as experimental materials to investigate the dynamic changes in the synthesis and partitioning of nonstructural carbohydrates among source-sink, the dynamic changes in related enzyme activities, the effects of the source-sink metabolism on yield in rice under salt stress and the effect of Pro-Ca during the filling period.

Plants (Basel)

Research Center of Buckwheat Industry Technology, College of Life Science, Guizhou Normal University, Guiyang 550025, China.
Tartary buckwheat is a nutrient-rich pseudo-cereal whose starch contents, including amylose and amylopectin contents, and their properties hold significant importance for enhancing yield and quality. The granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) is a key enzyme responsible for the synthesis of amylose, directly determining the amylose content and amylose-to-amylopectin ratio in crops. Although one has already been cloned, the genes at the genome-wide level have not yet been fully assessed and thoroughly analyzed in Tartary buckwheat.

Pesticide residues on fruits pose a global food safety concern, emphasizing the need for effective and practical removal strategies to ensure safe consumption. This study investigates the efficacy of household ingredients (corn starch, all-purpose flour, rice flour and baking soda) and four commercial fresh produce wash products in eliminating a model pesticide thiabendazole with and without a model non-ionic surfactant Alligare 90 from postharvest fruits. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was employed for the rapid, in situ quantification of residue removal on apple surfaces.
