Improvement of Rice Quality: The New Revolution

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rice Research for Quality Improvement: Genomics and Genetic Engineering

Abstract

Rice is the staple crop for more than half of the world population. Along with yield, the grain quality of rice is also the principal requirement for producers and consumers. The quality of the grain depends on a combination of several traits including environmental factors. Both conventional and transgenic approaches are used for the quality improvement of rice. Genetic engineering has provided new tools for effectively ensuring food and nutritional security to improve agriculture across the world. With the recent advances in analytical tools, molecular markers, applied genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, the scope for improving grain and nutritional quality in rice, and combining that with high yield, seems more promising than before. The modification of product quality characteristics using gene technology depends on a well-established understanding of the pathways for biosynthesis of plant products. There is an urgent need to boost more research in this field to help people in understanding the relationship between diet and health, and to ensure that everyone benefits from the genomic revolution. This chapter provides insights into how to link grain quality attributes and sensory perception to support breeding superior rice varieties.
