Stressful environments can alter starch biosynthesis in cereal endosperm. The aim of this
review is to carefully examine how starch functional properties are altered when plants …

A staple food for more than half of the world's population, rice is the third most important
cereal crop after wheat and corn. This book brings together a wealth of information on the …

Heat-induced chalkiness of rice grains is a major concern for rice production, particularly
with respect to climate change. Although the formation of chalkiness in the endosperm is …

Although a loss of healthy pollen grains induced by metabolic heat responses has been
indicated to be a major cause of heat-induced spikelet sterility under global climate change …

Basmati rice is a premium aromatic rice that consumers choose primarily because of its

Foehn-like extreme hot and dry wind conditions (34° C,> 2.5 kPa vapor pressure deficit, and
7 ms− 1) strongly affect grain quality in rice (Oryza sativa L.). This is a current concern …

Numerous studies have elucidated that white heads and chalky rice are caused by hot, dry
and strong winds at night. However, these studies have only used synoptic weather charts …

There is concern over the impact of global warming on rice production due increased heat
