Journal ArticleDOI
Resistant starch could be decisive in determining the glycemic index of rice cultivars
Awadhesh Kumar,Upasana Sahoo,Basavdatta Baisakha,Oko Augustine Okpani,Umakanta Ngangkham,C. Parameswaran,Nabaneeta Basak,Gaurav Kumar,S. G. Sharma +8 more
TL;DR: Rice starch is hydrolyzed by enzymes in the digestive tract and converted into glucose which is the main energy source for metabolic functions and after meeting the energy requirement of the body, the extra calories from starch are stored as glycogen or fats for later use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytic acid: Blessing in disguise, a prime compound required for both plant and human nutrition.
Awadhesh Kumar,Brajesh Singh,Pinky Raigond,Chandrasekhar Sahu,Udit Nandan Mishra,S. G. Sharma,Milan Kumar Lal,Milan Kumar Lal +7 more
TL;DR: The negative charge on PA attracts and chelates metal cations resulting in a mixed insoluble salt, phytate, which is the principal storage compound of phosphorus (P) and account for 65%-85% of the seeds total P.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycemic index of starchy crops and factors affecting its digestibility: A review
TL;DR: Analysis and management of postprandial blood glucose level while eating starchy crops would help to understand the risk of diabetes and other lifestyle-related diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioavailability of iron and zinc as affected by phytic acid content in rice grain
Awadhesh Kumar,Milan Kumar Lal,Subhra Sashi Kar,Lopamudra Nayak,Umakanta Ngangkham,Sanghamitra Samantaray,Sri Gopal Sharma +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of PA on bioavailability of Fe and Zn was investigated in brown and processed rice, and a significant correlation of PA of brown rice with PA of milled rice was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative transcriptome profiling of low light tolerant and sensitive rice varieties induced by low light stress at active tillering stage.
Sudhanshu Sekhar,Darshan Panda,Jitendra Kumar,Niharika Mohanty,Monalisha Biswal,M. J. Baig,Awadhesh Kumar,N Umakanta,Sangamitra Samantaray,Sharat Kumar Pradhan,Birendra Prasad Shaw,Padmini Swain,Lambodar Behera +12 more
TL;DR: Overall study suggested that the maintenance of grain yield in the tolerant variety under low light might be results of accelerated expression of the genes which enable the plant to keep the photosynthetic processes moving at the same pace even underLow light.
