Starch is a major ingredient in rice, and the amylose content of starch significantly impacts rice quality. OsSS (starch synthase) is a gene family related to the synthesis of amylose and amylopectin, and 10 members have been reported. In the present study, a synteny analysis of a novel family member belonging to the OsSSIV subfamily that contained a starch synthase catalytic domain showed that three segmental duplications and multiple duplications were identified in rice and other species. Expression data showed that the OsSS gene family is involved in diverse expression patterns. The prediction of miRNA targets suggested that OsSS are possibly widely regulated by miRNA functions, with miR156s targeted to OsSSII-3, especially. Haplotype analysis exhibited the relationship between amylose content and diverse genotypes. These results give new insight and a theoretical basis for the improved amylose content and eating quality of rice.

Abstract Background In temperate rice cultivation regions, japonica rice cultivars are grown preferentially because consumers deem them to have good eating quality, whereas indica rice cultivars have high grain yields and strong heat tolerance but are considered to have poor eating quality. To mitigate the effects of global warming on rice production, it is important to develop novel rice cultivars with both desirable eating quality and resilience to high temperatures. Eating quality and agronomic traits were evaluated in a reciprocal set of chromosome segment substitution lines derived from crosses between a japonica rice cultivar ‘Koshihikari’ and an indica rice cultivar ‘Takanari’. Results We detected 112 QTLs for amylose and protein contents, whiteness, stickiness, hardness and eating quality of cooked rice grains. Almost of ‘Koshihikari’ chromosome segments consistently improved eating quality. Among detected QTLs, six QTLs on chromosomes 1–5 and 11 were detected that increased whiteness and stickiness of cooked grains or decreased their hardness for 3 years. The QTLs on chromosomes 2–4 were not associated with differences in amylose or protein contents. QTLs on chromosomes 1–5 did not coincide with QTLs for agronomic traits such as heading date, culm length, panicle length, spikelet fertility and grain yield. Genetic effects of the detected QTLs were confirmed in substitution lines carrying chromosome segments from five other indica cultivars in the ‘Koshihikari’ genetic background. Conclusion The detected QTLs were associated with differences in eating quality between indica and japonica rice cultivars. These QTLs appear to be widely distributed among indica cultivars and to be novel genetic factors for eating quality traits because their chromosome regions differed from those of the GBSSI (Wx) and SSIIa (Alk) genes. The detected QTLs would be very useful for improvement of eating quality of indica rice cultivars in breeding programs.

Indica-japonica hybrid rice cultivars show great yield potential but poor eating quality and require more nitrogen (N) input relative to japonica rice. However, the effect of N levels on the eating quality of indica-japonica hybrid rice is little known. A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of four N levels on two indica-japonica hybrid rice cultivars (Yongyou12 and Yongyou17) differing in eating quality. The results showed that the contents of amylose chains and water-insoluble storage proteins, especially prolamin, increased largely under a high N level, leading to deterioration of the rice-eating quality, although a low N level (100 N kg/ha) had a less negative effect on the eating quality. Moreover, both of the indica-japonica hybrids had high ratios of inferior grains (IG), and the ratio of IG increased with the N level. Grain weight and the immature ratio of IG were reduced and increased with the N level, respectively, which are also factors for deterioration of the eating quality. The two cultivars differed greatly in the responses of eating quality to the N level, with Yongyou17 being more sensitive than Yongyou12. The current results indicated that a high N level deteriorates the eating quality of indica-japonica hybrid rice mainly due to a large increase of IG.

Resistant starch is a starch fraction that can not be hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes in the small intestine and classified as a prebiotic compound. Increasing the content of resistant starch to a certain amount in Siger Rice (modified tiwul) will decrease the cooking quality. The objective of this research was to study the relationship between resistant starch content and cooking quality of Siger Rice (eating quality, texture, and taste). The increase of resistant starch content in siger rice was done by the application of autoclaving-cooling cycling treatment, through steam stages, cooling to room temperature, followed by cooling at 4°C for 0 hours/control, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours and 48 hours. The results showed that the increase of resistant starch content ≤ 10% (9.85%) will improve the quality characteristics of Siger Rice for all organoleptic scores, i.e., eating quality (7,15 to 8,2), texture (7.05 to 8.35), and flavor (6.95 to 8.15); on the contrary, the increase of resistant starch content more than 10% (14.25%) will decrease the cooking quality characteristics of Siger Rice for all organoleptic scores, i.e., eating quality (7.15 to 6.8), texture (7.05 to 6.6), and taste (6.95 to 6.4).
