Abstract Iron (Fe) deficiency is one of the common causes of anaemia in humans. Improving grain Fe in rice, therefore, could have a positive impact for humans worldwide, especially for those people who consume rice as a staple food. In this study, 225–269 accessions of the Bengal and Assam Aus Panel...

Abstract Paddy soils in Bangladesh experience extensive irrigation with groundwater and surface water, both having variable geochemical constituents. The soils also have topological variations across the landscape. To understand the geochemical variability in the soils as affected by the different s...

Abstract It has been estimated that up to 90% of human exposure to cadmium is through food, and that cadmium within rice grains can be a major contributor to that dietary source. In this study genome wide association mapping was conducted on the Bengal and Assam Aus Panel (BAAP) of rice to identify ...

In late June 2008 over 70 people gathered at the Douglas Hotel in Aberdeen, Scotland to discuss the metabolism and chemical speciation of arsenic (As). For the participants originating closer to the equator, the surprising midnight blue skies were certainly a treat, particularly when leaving the pub...

Background: Genetic diversity among rice cultivars from Bangladesh and North East India was assessed using a custom 384-SNP microarray assay. A total of 511 cultivars were obtained from several sources, choosing landraces likely to be from the aus subpopulation and modern improved cultivars from Ban...

The aim of this work was to develop a simple, rapid and reproducible method to screen large numbers of rice cultivars for resistance to bakanae disease, and included four objectives: i) to develop optimum conditions for spore production by two strains of F. fujikuroi and two of F. verticillioides ; ...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the main staple crops worldwide feeding roughly half of the population On average, Bangladeshis consume between 450-600 g of rice daily; this is roughly 50% of the total daily calorie intake Rice is a water intensive crop, traditionally cultivated on flooded fields T...

Major modes detected by STRUCTURE. Modes for cultivars in (a) Panel A (511 AWD cultivars) and (b) Panel B (74 Indian cultivars) for K = 4 from the Evano method were obtained using CLUMPAK with search method LargeKGreedy, MCL cluster size threshold = 0.1 and cut-off = 0.50. (DOCX 62 kb)
