Abstract
Variations in starch pasting properties, considered an alternative potential quality classification parameter for rice starches, are directly controlled by the diverse starch molecular composition and structural features. Here, the starch characteristics of four rice cultivars (i.e., RD57, RD29, KDML105, and RD6) differing in pasting properties were assessed, and their relationship was determined. The results revealed that protein and moisture contents and their crystalline type were similar among the four rice starches. However, their molecular compositions and structures (i.e., reducing sugar and amylose contents, amylopectin branch chain-length distributions, granule size and size distribution, and degree of crystallinity) significantly varied among different genotypes, which resulted in distinct swelling, solubility, gelatinization, retrogradation, and hydrolytic resistance properties. The swelling power and gelatinization enthalpy (∆H) were positively correlated with C-type granule and relative crystallinity, but were negatively correlated with amylose content, B-type granule and median particle size (d(0.5)). Conversely, the water solubility and resistant starch content negatively correlated with C-type granule, but positively correlated with amylose content, B-type granule, and d(0.5). The gelatinization onset temperature (To(g)), and retrogradation concluding temperatures (Tc(r)), enthalpy (∆H(r)), and percentage (R%) were positively impacted by the amount of protein, amylose, and B1 chains (DP 13-24), while they were negatively correlated with short A chains (DP 6-12). Collectively, the starch physicochemical and functional properties of these Thai rice starches are attributed to an interplay between compositional and structural features. These results provide decisive and crucial information on rice cultivars' suitability for consumption as cooked rice and for specific industrial applications.

Abstract
Glutinous rice has very low amylose content and is a good material for determining the structure and physicochemical properties of amylopectin. We selected 29 glutinous rice varieties and determined the amylopectin structure by high-performance anion exchange chromatography with the pulsed amperometric detection method. We also determined the correlation between amylopectin structure and the physicochemical properties of starch extracted from these varieties. The results showed that the amylopectin chain ratio Σdegree of polymerization (DP) ≤ 11/ΣDP ≤ 24 of 29 glutinous rice varieties was greater than 0.26, signifying that these varieties contained type II amylopectin. The results of the correlation analysis with gelatinization temperature showed that ΣDP 6-11 was significantly negatively correlated with the onset gelatinization temperature (GT) (TO), peak GT (TP), and conclusion GT (TC). Among the thermodynamic properties, ΣDP 12-24 was significantly positively correlated with To, Tp, and Tc, ΣDP 25-36 was significantly negatively correlated with To, Tp, and Tc, and ΣDP ≥ 37 had no correlation with the thermodynamic properties. The results of correlation analysis with RVA spectrum characteristic values showed that ΣDP 6-11 was significantly negatively correlated with hot paste viscosity (HPV), cool paste viscosity (CPV), consistency viscosity (CSV), peak time (PeT), and pasting temperature (PaT) among the Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) profile characteristics, ΣDP 12-24 was significantly positively correlated with HPV, CPV, CSV, PeT, and PaT, and ΣDP ≥ 25 had no correlation with the viscosity characteristics. Therefore, we concluded that the amylopectin structure had a greater effect on the TO, TP, TC, ΔH and peak viscosity, HPV, CPV, CSV, PeT, and PaT. The glutinous rice varieties with a higher distribution of short chains and a lower distribution of medium and long chains in the amylopectin structure resulted in lower GT and RVA spectrum characteristic values.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to determine the scope of sweetpotato cultivation in arid regions of China. For this purpose, we investigated yield, anthocyanin compositions and physicochemical properties of starch in purple-fleshed sweetpotato (PFSP) "Xuzishu8" under humid (zi8-X) and arid (zi8-D) environments of China. The experiment was conducted in three replications in both environments during 2019 and 2020. The yield and anthocyanidins contents of PFSP were significantly higher in the arid conditions as compared to humid. Zi8-X and zi8-D both revealed the presence of three anthocyanidins, namely, cyanidin (Cy), peonidin (Pn), and pelargonidin (Pg). Cy and Pn accounted for 36.40 and 63.54% of the total anthocyanidins in zi8-X, while in zi8-D, they were found as 26.13 and 73.80%, respectively. The quantitative analysis of these anthocyanins was performed using HPLC-ESI-MS/MS which revealed eighteen anthocyanins such as nine Cy, eight Pn and one Pg. Out of which, eleven anthocyanins showed a significant difference under both conditions. Starch and amylopectin contents were found to be increased by 15.39 and 4.71%, respectively, while the amylose concentration was reduced by 15.54% under the arid environment. The diameter of the starch granule and the peak viscosity were significantly higher under arid as compared to humid conditions. On the basis of results of this study, it seems quite practicable to develop PFSP cultivation in desert regions.

Abstract
Differences in cooked rice and starch and protein physicochemical properties of three japonica rice were compared systematically. Cultivars of japonica rice, Daohuaxiang2, from Northeast China (NR) and two semiglutinous japonica rice (SGJR), Nangeng46 and Nangeng2728, from the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) were investigated. Both Daohuaxiang2 and Nangeng46 achieved high taste values, but there were great differences in starch and protein physicochemical properties. Daohuaxiang2 showed higher apparent amylose content (AAC), lower protein content (PC), and longer amylopectin (especially fb2 and fb3) and amylose chain lengths, resulting in thicker starch lamellae and larger starch granule size. Its cooked rice absorbed more water and expanded to larger sizes. All of these differences created a more compact gel network and harder but more elastic cooked rice for Daohuaxiang2. Nangeng46 produced a lower AAC, a higher PC, shorter amylopectin and amylose chain lengths, thinner starch lamellae, and smaller starch granule sizes, creating a looser gel network and softer cooked rice. The two SGJR, Nangeng46 and Nangeng2728, had similar low AACs but great differences in taste values. The better-tasting Nangeng46 had a lower PC (especially glutelin content) and higher proportion of amylopectin fa chains, which likely reduced the hardness, improved the appearance, and increased the adhesiveness of its cooked rice. Overall, both types of japonica rice from the NR and YRD could potentially have good eating qualities where Nangeng46's cooked rice was comparable to that of Daohuaxiang2 because of its lower AC. Moreover, its lower PC and higher proportion of amylopectin fa chains likely improved its eating quality over the inferior-tasting SGJR, Nangeng2728. This research lays a foundation for the improvement of the taste of japonica rice in rice breeding.

Abstract
Rice production systems and soil characteristics play a crucial role in determining its yield and grain quality. Two elite Thai rice cultivars, namely, KDML105 and RD6, were cultivated in two production systems with distinct soil characteristics, including net-house pot production and open-field production. Under open-field system, KDML105 and RD6 had greater panicle number, total grain weight, 100-grain weight, grain size, and dimension than those grown in the net-house. The amounts of reducing sugar and long amylopectin branch chains (DP 25–36) of the RD6 grains along with the amounts of long branch chains (DP 25–36 and DP ≥ 37), C-type starch granules, and average chain length of the KDML105 were substantially enhanced by the open-field cultivation. Contrastingly, the relative crystallinity of RD6 starch and the amounts of short branch chains (DP 6–12 and DP 13–24), B- and A-type granules, and median granule size of KDML105 starch were significantly suppressed. Consequently, the open-field-grown RD6 starch displayed significant changes in its gelatinization and retrogradation properties, whereas, certain retrogradation parameters and peak viscosity (PV) of KDML105 starches were differentially affected by the distinct cultivating conditions. This study demonstrated the influences of production systems and soil characteristics on the physicochemical properties of rice starches.

Abstract
Rice eating and cooking quality is largely determined by starch physicochemical properties. The diverse accessions in the USDA rice mini-core collection (URMC) facilitate extensive association analysis of starch physicochemical properties with molecular markers specific to starch biosynthesis related genes. To identify significant trait-marker associations that can be utilized in rice breeding programs for improved starch quality, we conducted two association analyses between 26 molecular markers derived from starch biosynthesis related genes and 18 parameters measured of starch physicochemical properties in two sets of the mini-core accessions successfully grown in two environments in China. Many significant trait-marker associations (P < 0.001) were detected in both association analyses. Five markers of Waxy gene, including the (CT)n repeats, the G/T SNP of intron 1, the 23 bp sequence duplication (InDel) of exon 2, the A/C SNP of exon 6, and the C/T SNP of exon 10, were found to be primarily associated with starch traits related to apparent amylose content (AAC), and two markers targeting the 4,329-4,330 bp GC/TT SNPs and 4,198 bp G/A SNP of SSIIa gene were mainly associated with traits related to gelatinization temperature (GT). Two new haplotypes were found in the mini-core collection based on the combinations of the 23 bp InDel and three SNPs (G/T of intron 1, A/C of exon 6, and C/T of exon 10) of Waxy gene. Furthermore, our analyses indicated that the (CT)n polymorphisms of Waxy gene had a non-negligible effect on AAC related traits, as evidenced by significant variation in AAC related traits among rice accessions with the same Waxy SNPs but different (CT) n repeats. As the five Waxy markers and the two SSIIa markers showed consistent major effects on starch quality traits across studies, these markers should have priority for utilization in marker-assisted breeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wx and SSIIa are central genes for determining starch physicochemical properties and rice endosperm starch is composed of linear amylose, which is entirely synthesized by granule bound starch synthase I (GBSSI, encoded by Wx) and branched amylopectin. In the present study, different haplotypes of rice were examined to investigate the combined effects of pivotal genes in the metabolic chain of starch, Wx and SSIIa. RESULTS Wx haplotypes differed in terms of apparent amylose content (AAC) and gel consistency (GC). The I-3 [haplotype I (Int1T/Ex10C) of Wx and haplotype 3 (A-G-TT) of SSIIa] and the I-4 combinations of rice had better eating and cooking qualities (ECQs) with lower AAC, lower gelatinization temperature (GT) and softer GC. CONCLUSION The characteristic parameters of Rapid Visco-analyser (RVA) could distinguish differences in AAC and GC but not GT. The I-3 and I-4 haplotype combinations of Wx and SSIIa represent key targets for the production of rice with better ECQs. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
