A NON-GMO RICE VARIETY WITH HIGH RESISTANCE STARCH AND DIETARY FIBRE

摘要

The present invention provides a rice variety - LRO-23 which is a non-GMO giving better yields; having high dietary fibre (DF), High resistance starch, and Less rapidly digestible starch (LRDS); and having good cooking quality with appealing aroma and taste. The present rice variety - LRO-23 is developed, using forward genetics approach. Identification of the mutant line with desired qualities through Bio-chemical analysis was carried out. The present rice variety owing to its high dietary fibre (DF), Resistant starch (RS) and less rapidly digestible starch (LRDS) content could be really useful for the people suffering with diabetes in low and middle income countries in meeting their dietary needs.
