Rice eating and cooking quality (ECQ) is a major concern of breeders and consumers, determining market competitiveness worldwide. Rice grain protein content (GPC) is negatively related to ECQ, making it possible to improve ECQ by manipulating GPC. However, GPC is genetically complex and sensitive to environmental conditions; therefore, little progress has been made in traditional breeding for ECQ. Here, we report that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of genes encoding the grain storage protein glutelin rapidly produced lines with downregulated GPC and improved ECQ. Our finding provides a new strategy for improving rice ECQ.

This study investigated the correlation between endogenous storage proteins and aromatic compounds in rice, and their collective influence on rice eating quality. Six rice samples, varying in four endogenous storage proteins through gene editing genetically modified, were analyzed for their sensory characteristics and volatile compounds utilizing GC-E-nose, GC-MS, GC-MS-O, texture analyzer, and sensory evaluation. The results indicated that a total of 55 flavor compounds were identified, with 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline identified as the key aroma compound, positively correlated with prolamin content, while negatively correlated with glutelin and albumin.

Background & Objectives: Orientia tsutsugamushi, a bacterial pathogen of scrub typhus, is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected chigger mites, and rodents are the natural hosts of the disease vector. The traditional practices of the tribal ethnic groups (Mizo) of Mizoram state such as capturing and consumption of rat meat collected from the agricultural fields could be one source of vector-disease transmission route. The present study aimed to detect and identify the pathogen of scrub typhus from vectors collected from rice field rats which were captured by farmers for meat consumption purposes.

We performed GWAS for starch properties and eating, cooking and appearance quality characteristics traits in rice and then used PLS regression to show importance of different loci for different food applications. We performed a genome-wide association study for appearance, eating and cooking quality traits in grain of japonica rice cultivars and identified candidate genes for adhesiveness of cooked rice grains, amylopectin composition and β-glucanase activity in rice endosperm among a total of 525 quantitative trait nucleotide (QTN) loci. The study used 1,054,635 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) based on genome sequence data of 150 rice cultivars and 89 grain appearance, eating and cooking quality traits.

Background: The meal sequencing of macronutrients has been shown to ameliorate postprandial glucose excursion, but its effects in daily meals has not been investigated. We examined the impact on the glucose response to meal sequencing in healthy Japanese adults using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) during a typical lunch meal.
Methods: The test meal was a Japanese set meal or a beef and rice bowl, the contents of which were categorized as "rice" or "non-rice".

This study aimed to investigate the effect of superheated steam treatment on the cooking and eating quality of rice, and further explore the effect of superheated steam treatment on the structure, gel properties, and rheological behavior of rice starch. After superheated steam treatment, the optimal cooking time of rice was effectively reduced by 26.9%, and the taste value of rice was significantly improved, from 78.
