Consumers Around the World Have Different Preferences in Rice Cooking Quality • The Japanese people prefer soft and sticky rice with short grain (japonica types) • In the USA, medium and long grain rice varieties are preferred • In South America and the Middle East, people prefer firm and non-sticky rice • Thai people prefer long grain soft and nonsticky • In India, Pakistan, fragrant or scented rice is preferred • In Brazil, people prefer long, slender, and translucent grain
Consumer Preferences in West Africa In West Africa consumers prefer: • long, slender, intermediate amylose • Aroma • Sticky rice to make rice porridge • Parboiled rice • Brokens • Farmers like rice that is slow to digest giving longer satisfaction
Experiments Conducted 1. Conduct genotypic and phenotypic evaluation of West African germplasm for agronomic and quality traits to identify characteristics that can benefit WA and USA rice breeding programs. 2. Determine genetic marker associations with key cooking quality traits that can be used in rice cultivar improvement programs.
Data collected for the Quality tests Alkali Spreading Value (ASV)- qualitative indicator of starch gelatinization temperature, dispersion of milled grain in 1.5% KOH solution Apparent Amylose Content (AA), Soluble Amylose (SA)- indicator of cooked rice texture, using wet chemistry auto analyzer Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA)- determines the viscosity of rice flour pasting subjected to cycles of heating and cooling Differential Scanning Calorimetry DSC- quantitativeindicator of starch gelatinization temperature, using DSC 6 analyzer determines the temperature and heat of gelatinization Cooking Time- time required for 10 milled rice grains to be completely gelatinized Total and Whole Milling Yield – indicator of crop value, using McGill#2 Mill for 1 min. Grain dimensions- indicator of crop value, using WinSEEDLE Crude Protein Content-indicator of nutritional value, using nitrogen gas analyzer LECO 528 Aroma (2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline)-indicator of market value, using gas chromatography

Grain Characteristics like Grain Width and Total Mill can affect Cooking time 1% change in breakage can cause a $100,000 difference in profit for an average-sized rice mill (Hosney 1998)

Amylose classes and Waxy gene • Starch = amylose + amylopectin (60-80%) of edible weight of cereal. • Starch comprises 90% of the total dry matter of milled rice (Bao et al. 2002). The cooking and eating quality of rice is mainly influenced by the properties of starch. • Smith et al. (1997): GBSS= wx protein is the product of waxy gene, plays roles in the synthesis of amylose. • Starch branching enzyme, soluble starch synthase, and starch debranching enzyme plays major role in the synthesis of amylopectin. • No amylose (waxy): very soft and extremely sticky (0%) • Low amylose: firm, separate, non sticky (10-19%) • Intermediate: (20-24%) • High amylose: extra firm, low solid loss during processing, superior kernel stability (>24%) Glucose molecule Amylopectin Amylose

PCR Primers Used for Molecular Marker Analysis 21 PCR markers were selected and screened for marker association study. The markers were either:-near starch metabolism (like SSS, SBE )-at a map position with significant effects on starch properties (like amylose content, or RVA pasting properties Waxy, exon10, and AB26285 showed association with the amylose and RVA properties.

Summary and Conclusions • Interspecifics were found interesting for reduced water rice growing, more studies can elucidate these findings • Nerica 2 had good agronomic and milling characteristics • Bakue Danane, Cocote, WAB 638-1 had strong aroma • Jaya, Nerica 2, BG 90-2, IITA 123 had high level of Protein
Summary and Conclusions (cont.) • Soluble Amylose (SA) explained more the difference in RVA profile than the Apparent Amylose (AA). • Different GBSS alleles may produce the same amount of total amylose but different proportions of soluble and insoluble amylose. • The Waxy microsatellite and waxy exon 10 SNP markers are now useful molecular markers for rapid and efficient identification of cooking quality traits that can be difficult to separate with only physico-chemical data.
