Abstract:
In the northernmost Japan, Hokkaido, there wasn’t a brand name of rice variety like “Koshihikari” for a long time, and its rice received poor evaluations for eating quality. Therefore, it has been 28 years since 1980 that Hokkaido Prefectural (current Hokkaido Research Organization) Experiment Station started a project of rapid research on the good eating varieties good eating variety of Japonica rice. In this project, In order to achieve the goal of rapid research and development, the breeding years were successfully shortened by generation promotion cultivation method and another culture method; By expanding the breeding scale, and using the internal and external effective genes such as good taste and cold tolerance, the varieties with good taste and early cold tolerance were bred. To select good eating strain effectively, the analysis of rice protein content, especially amylose content were performed in early generation, after that estimating by eating a small amount of rice cooking were used. As a result, on introduction of gene for good eating quality, firstly, accumulating good eating quality genes of Hokkaido varieties was used in breeding of “Yukihikari”. In the next, good eating quality of “Koshihikari” and “Akitakomachi” of Tohoku and south area variety were introduced to “Flash 397” and “Hoshinoyume” respectively. Amylose content of those new varieties was lower 2% than 22% of old variety. Moreover good eating quality of “Kokuhorose” of USA variety was introduced to “Nanatsuboshi”, and amylose content reduced another 1% in its variety. After that, using low-amylose variant “Hokkai 287” induced by culture as parent, “Yumepirika” with amylose content of 15%~16% was bred which had excellent stickiness, softness and good eating quality as same as “Koshihikri”.

Abstract:
In the northernmost Japan, Hokkaido, there wasn’t a brand name of rice variety like “Koshihikari” before, and its rice received poor evaluations for eating quality. Therefore Hokkaido Prefectural (current Hokkaido Research Organization) Experiment Station started a project from 1980 for twenty eight years to breed good eating variety quickly. In its project, to shorten development period, accelerated generation advance and anther culture were used. Using resources of good eating quality and cool weather resistance and so on inside and outside of the country effectively, in order to develop variety with good eating quality, cool weather resistance and early maturity all, number of breeding materials were increased. To select good eating strain effectively, amylose content in particular and protein content in early generation, and after that generation estimating by eating a small amount of rice cooking were used. As a result, on introduction of gene for good eating quality, at first accumulating good eating quality genes of Hokkaido varieties was used in breeding of “Yukihikari”. In the next, good eating quality of “Koshihikari” and “Akitakomachi” of Tohoku and south area variety were introduced to “Kirara 397” and “Hoshinoyume” respectively. Amylose content of those new varieties was lower 2% than 22% of old variety. Moreover good eating quality of “Kokuhorose” of USA variety was introduced to “Nanatsuboshi”, and amylose content reduced 1% in its variety. After that, using low-amylose variant “Hokkai 287” induced by culture as parent, “ Yumepirika” with amylose content of 15%~16% was bred, and had excellent stickiness, softness and good eating quality as same as “Koshihikri”.

Abstract:
In Hokkaido, improving appearance quality of non-glutinous rice grain nearly up to those of varieties in the area south of Tohoku district has been the important breeding objective for a long time. For decreasing immature grain such as milky white and white-belly rice so on, increasing whole grain and heightening the whiteness of brown and of milled rice, selections mainly by visual estimation have been used up to the present time. The results was that, in the new and old varieties cultivated after 1903, with the renewal of breeding year, the whole grains were become more and more, and the immature grains, damaged grains and colored grains gradually decreased. In particular, genetically “Yukara” bred in 1961 had extremely more whole grains comparing to varieties bred in, before or the same age. From the pedigree, its excellent characteristics were inherited by many rice varieties bred after “Yukara” with good quality and good taste. The main varieties bred in 1984 and after had rather less whole grain, and had rather more immature kernel than the main brand-name varieties in the area south of Tohoku district. Varieties bred before 1971 had many white-belly rice so on, and in new and old varieties bred lately didn’t have higher whiteness of brown and milled rice. In varieties bred in 1971 and after, varieties bred lately, however, had higher the whiteness of brown and of milled rice, and negative correlation was found between protein content and the whiteness of brown and of milled rice. Although the present main varieties of Hokkaido had lower whiteness of brown rice comparing to main brand-name varieties in the area south of Tohoku district, those varieties of Hokkaido had the same whiteness of milled rice, the same transparency of brown rice, the same transparency of milled rice, and the same whiteness of brown rice especially with only whole grain. Although the present main varieties of Hokkaido had rather more immature kernel and rather less whole grain comparing to main brand-name varieties in the area south of Tohoku district, in grain appearance quality there weren’t clear differences between those varieties of Hokkaido and of the area south of Tohoku district.

[Abstract](213) [HTML](0) [PDF 3.53 M](497)

Abstract:
The increase of white immature kernel decrease the percentage of whole grain and lower the inspection grade. In the occurrence rate of white immature kernel, especially in those of milky white rice kernel and in immature base rice kernel, differences among varieties were found. Number of white immature kernel were increased by decreasing quantity of photosynthesis treated with defoliation of flag leaf. Poor panicle uniformity results from abnormal heading in early stage caused by high temperature in sparse planting and seedling raising, and delay in harvesting time etc., All of this will cause the increase of white immature grains. In addition, lodging will lead to the increase of green and white immature grains. Under the condition of good growth at the initial stage, deep water irrigation from tillering stage inhibited the production of excess tillers, increased grain weight and brown rice yield, and improved the quality of brown rice. Because the soil in mature stage is too dry, the decrease of quality and 1000 grain weight caused by the production of abdominal white grains will lead to the decrease of yield. Number of these white immature kernels were decreased by increasing the amount of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) translocated from rice shoot to rough rice(per rough rice) during the period from heading to 10 days after full heading time and by increasing the amount of NSC (per rough rice) that is subtracting grain yield of crude brown rice from its translocated NSC. In order to decrease the number of white immature kernels, the amount of fertilizer application, planting density, temperature in rearing seedling house, time of transplanting, soil moisture during grain filling period and time of harvesting are needed to be in proper, and increasing initial growth are necessary. The large numbers of tiller is controlled by deep-flood irrigation from initial growth. Addition to those improved cultivation method, using color-sorting machine in the common drying and storage facilities after the mid-1990 s, the proportion of first-class rice in Hokkaido exceeded the national average level in Japan.

Abstract:
The increase of white immature kernel decrease the percentage of whole grain and lower the inspection grade. In the percentage of white immature kernel, especially in those of milky white rice kernel and in immature base rice kernel, varietal differences were found. Moreover number of white immature kernel were increased by decreasing quantity of photosynthesis treated with defoliation of flag leaf, additional nitrogen topdressing and increasing number of rough rice by it, decreasing the synchrony of heading with sparse planting and with early abnormal heading induced by high temperature in rearing seedling house, and delay in harvesting time. Lodging increased number of green and white immature kernel. In the case of good initial growth, deep-flood irrigation from initial growth increased kernel weight and grain yield, and heightened grain quality by suppressing large numbers of tiller. Shortage of soil moisture during grain filling period lowered grain quality by increasing white-belly rice, and decreased grain yield by reducing kernel weight. Number of these white immature kernels were decreased by increasing the amount of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) translocated from rice shoot to rough rice(per rough rice) during the period from heading to 10 days after full heading time and by increasing the amount of NSC (per rough rice) that is subtracting grain yield of crude brown rice from its translocated NSC. In order to decrease the number of white immature kernels, the amount of fertilizer application, planting density, temperature in rearing seedling house, time of transplanting, soil moisture during grain filling period and time of harvesting are needed to be in proper, and increasing initial growth are necessary. the large numbers of tiller is controlled by deep-flood irrigation from initial growth. Addition to those cultivation method, using color-sorting machine at rice terminal since the last half of 1990 s, first-class rice was able to be processed, the percentage of first-class rice in Hokkaido was over that of all Japan.

2020, 28(6):57-65.

[Abstract](241) [HTML](0) [PDF 994.27 K](496)

Abstract:
The lower the protein and amylose contents, the better was the eating quality of non-glutinous rice. The protein content (PC) and amylose content (AC) of rice in 15 planting areas of Hokkaido from 1991 to 2006 were analyzed. The average variation range of protein content was 7.2%-8.6% (7.2%-8.2%) in all planting areas (all years), and the average range of amylose content was 18.3%-22.2% (19.8%- 21.2%). The annual variation of protein and amylose content was 1.4 and 2.8 times of that between planting areas, respectively. This was because the range of the yearly variation in the average temperature and growth characteristics like grain yield during rice cultivation season and some growth stages was 1.6-4.4 times larger than that of regional variation. During the 16 years, the earlier the heading date was, the higher the temperature at the freezing injury sensitive stage of sterile rice seedlings, the lower the sterility, the heavier the 1000-kernel-weight; the higher the grain yield, and the lower the PC.Within 40 days after heading, the daily average temperature reached 843 ℃, and the PC were lowest in the quadratic regression equation. Those relationships wasn’t clear in the area where has high wind speed during tillering, low available rate of soil nitrogen and poor initial growth, on the contrary, between PC and 1000-kernel-weight, a positive relationship was found. The regional variation of PC did not correlate with these growth characteristics, but the lower the ratio of peat soil in the paddy field and the lower the wind speed during tillering, the lower was the PC. On the other hand among both years and regions the earlier the heading date, the higher the CTAH, the lower was the AC. Among areas, the shorter distance from the sea, the lower north latitude and the smaller mean diurnal temperature range during 40 days after heading, the lower was the AC.

[Abstract](184) [HTML](0) [PDF 1.06 M](438)

Abstract:
The higher was the protein content, the lower was the amylose content, and the better was the eating quality of nonglutinous rice. In 1991—2006, the protein content (PC) and amylose content (AC) were examined in 15 areas of Hokkaido. The range of the yearly (regional) variation on the average of all areas (years) was 7.2%~8.6% (7.2%~8.2%) in PC, and 18.3%~22.2% (19.8%~21.2%) in AC. That range of the yearly variation in those AC, PC was 1.4, 2.8 times respectively, larger than that of regional variation. That was because the range of the yearly variation in the mean temperature during rice cultivation season, during of some growth stages and growth characteristics like grain yield was 1.6~4.4 times, larger than that of regional variation. Among years, the earlier the heading date, the higher the temperature during the sensitive stage to stelile-type cool injury; the lower the sterility, the heavier the 1 000-kernel-weight; and, the higher the grain yield, the lower was the PC. At 843 ℃ of the cumulative daily mean temperature during 40 days after heading (CTAH), the PC were lowest in the quadratic regression relationship. Those relationships wasn’ t clear in the area where is high wind speed during tillering, low available rate of soil nitrogen and poor initial growth, on the contrary, between PC and 1 000-kernel-weight a positive relationship was found. The regional variation of PC did not correlate with these growth characteristics, but the lower the ratio of peat soil in the paddy field and the lower the wind speed during tillering, the lower was the PC. On the other hand among both years and regions the earlier the heading date, the higher the CTAH, the lower was the AC. Among areas, the shorter distance from the sea, the lower north latitude and the smaller mean diurnal temperature range during 40 days after heading, the lower was the AC.

[Abstract](202) [HTML](0) [PDF 1.96 M](444)

Abstract:
Appearance quality of rice grains, including percentages of whole, immature, damaged, colored and opaque grain, and whiteness of brown, milled rice were examined in 15 areas of Hokkaido during 1999—2006 (6~8 years). The range of the yearly variation in those appearance qualities was 1.5~6.4 times larger than that of regional variation. That was because the annual difference of average temperature and mature temperature (40 days after heading) in sensitive stage to stelile-type cool injury (SSC, 24 days before heading and 30 days after heading) is 3.0~3.7 times larger than that of regional difference, while the rate of non seed setting, the growth characteristics of 1000 grain weight and brown rice yield and the protein content of rice are 1.4~3.3 times higher than that of regional difference. Among years, the heavier the 1 000 grain weight, the higher the whole grain ratio, and the higher the whole grain ratio, the lower the protein content due to high yield. In addition, the higher the temperature in SSC, the lower the rate of non seed setting, the lower the protein content, and the higher the CSTH, the higher the whiteness of brown rice and milled rice. There was a positive correlation between the ratio of damaged grain and colored grain. The higher the CTAH was, the lower the ratio was before the CTAH reached 890 ℃ and 850 ℃. Moreover, the ratio of immature grains was the lowest at 808 ℃ and showed a quadratic correlation, especially the effect of the second half of 40 days is greater than that of the first half. The lack of sunshine also makes the immature grains more frequent, too. Among regions, although these relationships are still unclear compared with those among years, the ratio of dead rice trends to increase in areas with low gray soil ratio and high peat soil ratio. At the present, these cultivation techniques that can improve the appearance quality of rice grains are gradually developed, further are popularized and guided by farmers. At the present cultivation techniqures that improve those appearance quality of rice grains have been developed and have disseminated to farmers.

Abstract:
In 1999—2006(6~8 years), appearance quality of rice grains, namely percentages of whole, immature, damaged, colored and opaque grain, and whiteness of brown, milled rice were examined in 15 areas of Hokkaido. The range of the yearly variation in those appearance qualities was 1.5-6.4 times respectively, larger than that of regional variation. That was because the range of the yearly variation in the mean temperature during of some growth stages such as both the temperature during the sensitive stage to stelile-type cool injury (TSSC) and the cumulative daily mean temperature during 40 days after heading (CTAH) and in growth characteristics like grain yield and protein content (PC) was 3.0-3.7, 1.4-3.3 times, larger than that of regional variation. Among years, the lower the sterility, the heavier the 1000-kernel-weight; the higher was the percentage of whole grain. Higher the percentage of whole grain, the higher the grain yield; the lower was the PC. The higher the TSSC, lower the sterility, the lower the PC; the higher the CTSH, the higher the whiteness of brown rice, the higher was the whiteness of milled rice. Moreover between the percentages of both damaged and colored grains a positive correlation was found, and the higher the CTAH to 890, 850 ℃ respectively, those percentages were the lower. At 808 ℃of the cumulative daily mean temperature during CTAH, the percentage of immature grains were lowest in the quadratic regression relationship, and the latter half of CTAH affected greater on percentage of immature grain than the first half of it. Poor sunshine increased number of immature grains, too. The regional variation of appearance quality of rice grains did not correlate with these growth characteristics, but the lower the ratio of peat soil in the paddy field, the higher the ratio of gray lowland siol, the lower was the percentage of opaque grains. At the present cultivation techniqures that improve those appearance quality of rice grains have been developed and have disseminated to farmers.

Abstract:
The Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac transgenic crops can effectively control pests. In the present study, the world-wide distribute pest, Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hübener), was taken as the research object. The genes closely related to Bt toxin protein were sequenced using a high-throughput sequencing to reveal the insecticidal mechanism of Bt transgenic rice. The results showed that the de novo assembly generated a total of 37,246 unigenes among of which 23,310 unigenes could be annotated after the transcriptome sequencing was performed on the non stressed population and Bt transgenic rice meal stressed population of Indian rice borer, respectively. Then, 34,466 significantly differentially expressed genes including 15,741 up-regulated genes and 18,725 down-regulated genes were determined by the Reads Per kb per Million reads (RPKM) method. Our database provides powerful tools for transcriptome analysis of P. interpunctella and further understanding of the molecular basis of Bt related mechanisms in P. interpunctella.

[Abstract](321) [HTML](0) [PDF 1.58 M](586)

Abstract:
Transgenic cry1Ab/cry1Ac rice (Huahui 1) is able to control the stored pest Plodia interpunctella. Our previous study confirmed that the enzymatic activities of three major antioxidases, including POD, CAT, and SOD, could be significantly changed after short-term stressed with these Bt containing rice. This study focused on the characteristics of rice during storage, the results showed that the Bt protein content in rice husk and brown rice was 5.534 μg/g and 1.003 μg/g respectively, and after 270 days at 25 ℃, the degradation rate was 67.3% and 27.7%, respectively. Moreover, the enzymatic activities of three antioxidases in P. interpunctella long-term fed with transgenic cry1Ab/cry1Ac rice powder would be addressed by enzymatic detection assays. Our data showed that the SOD activities could be significantly inhibited by the Bt containing rice after fed with Bt-rice powder for 12 days or 5 months, However, the enzymatic activities of POD and CAT significantly increase with the concentrations of Bt toxins. In addition, the change trend of protective enzyme activity in the Indian Meal Moth fed with transgenic rice flour for 5 months was consistent with that after 12 days of feeding. Our researches find that there are differences in the trend of increase and decrease of the three major protective enzymes after fed with Bt containing rice powder for a long time, which indicates that the expression mechanisms of the three protective enzymes might be different. Our results provide a theoretical basis for the study of toxicology and related resistance mechanism of transgenic Bt crops.

Abstract:
Compared with white rice, brown rice retains the nutritional value of rice better. Hower, due to the phytate, cellulose and other substances contained in the bran layer of brown rice, it has a rough taste and poor cooking, which restricts the development of brown rice food. Some studies have shown that modern food processing technology can not only effectively improve the rough taste and poor cooking of brown rice, but also improve the nutritional value of its products and promote human digestion and absorption. This article summarizes the research progress on the nutritional value of brown rice and processing technology, in order to provide a certain reference for the comprehensive utilization of brown rice.

The results were as follows: Alcohols, aldehydes and heterocyclic compounds were the main aroma components in Saqima. The content of alcohols and aldehydes decreased with the increase of egg content. On the contrary, heterocyclic compounds, especially pyrazines, showed an obvious increase tendency with the increase of egg content. The content of ketones did not change too much. In addition, eleven compounds can be detected in the Sachima with egg addtion, including 2-methylbutyraldehyde, 3-methylbutyraldehyde, 6-methyl-5-heptene- 2-one, 5-methyl-2-ethylpyrazine, 2-vinyl pyrazine, 1,4-dimethylpyrazole, furfuryl alcohol, 2-acetylpyrrole, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2,6-dimethylpyrazine and 3,5-dimethyl-2-ethylpyrazine. 2-Methylbutyraldehyde and 3-methylbutyraldehydewere detected in the Saqima with 20% and 30% egg respectively. Therefore, the content of egg plays an important role in the overall aroma of Saqima.

Abstract:
Whole potato flour has high nutritional value, but it is limited in the processing of vermicelli because it cannot form a good gluten structure. In this study, single factor test and double factor test were used to optimize the vacuum and noodles process of whole potato flour noodle. The results showed that the water content had the greatest influence on the overall quality of whole potato flour, followed by the mixing time, the vacuum degree and rotation speed had little influence. The optimum parameters are 36% water addition, 12 minutes mixing time, 0.06 MPa vacuum degree and 60 R/min rotating speed. It provides practical data support for further industrial production of high proportion potato noodle products.

Abstract:
Based on network pharmacology to study the mechanism of walnut in improving memory, the TCMSP database was used to screen the active ingredients and corresponding targets of walnuts, Geencard and OMIM were used to find memory-related targets, and the “active ingredients-target” association network was constructed through Cytoscape 3.7.1 software, and GO biological function enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis were carried out for key targets. The active ingredients and targets of walnut analyzed by network pharmacology were verified by molecular docking. Walnut improves memory mainly through 8 active ingredients such as ellagic acid, galloyl glucose, juglone, etc. by the regulation on the targets including PTGS2, PRKCA, PRKCB etc and signaling pathways including vascular endothelial growth factor, NF-κB and MAPK pathway. Molecular docking showed that the active ingredients of walnuts, ellagic acid and galloyl glucose, have strong binding with targets such as PRKCA and PRKCB. This experiment provides a theoretical basis for the development of functional products of walnut improving memory.

Abstract:
Using the data of China National Nutrition and Health Survey, we explored the relationship between dietary fructose intake and lipid indexes and dyslipidemia of 27 265 Chinese residents aged 45 and above. The level of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly lower in male while dietary fructose intake was lower in female (P < 0.001). With the increase of the dietary fructose quartile level, serum TG concentration was increased while HDL-C was decreased for male residents (Ptrend < 0.001). Among female residents, we only found serum TG concentration was increased (Ptrend < 0.001). Compared with the first quartile, the risk of low HDL cholesterolemia in the third (OR: 1.17; 95%CI: 1.03~1.33) and fourth (OR: 1.25; 95%CI: 1.08~1.43) quartile were increased after adjustment for confounding factor. There was no association between dietary fructose intake and hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, and dyslipidemia among female residents after adjustment for confounding factor (P > 0.001). There were gender differences for the effect of dietary fructose intake on lipid indexes and dyslipidemia.
