Assessment of antioxidant properties in selected pigmented and non-pigmented rice (Oryza sativa L.) germplasm and determination of its association with Rc gene haplotypes
The studied rice accessions showed a significant variation with respect to antioxidant properties. Haplotype H1 defined based on the three-target sites in the exon 6 of Rc gene can detect rice accessions with red pigmented pericarp and high antioxidant properties effectively. Hence, its use can be recommended as an alternative to biochemical assays for screening during rice breeding programs.
