| Abstract | Genetic loci influencing traits important to humans have been selected during crop domestication. The starch properties of rice influence the ease of cooking and attractiveness of rice as a human food. Starch biosynthesis genes likely to influence starch properties in the grain were compared in wild and domesticated rice genotypes. Sequence variation was investigated in starch biosynthesis gene exons that have been reported to have a direct influence on rice amylose content, gelatinization temperature, and amylopectin chain length. Exons 6 and 10 of GBSSI, exon 8 of SSIIa and exons 11, 13, 14 and 16 of SBEIIb were amplified and sequenced from 13 wild Oryza species encompassing genome types AA to HHJJ. Thirty two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in the exons of GBSSI; 176 in exon 8 of SSIIa, and 43 in SBEIIb, giving a total of 251 SNPs among the species. Eighty six of these SNP caused changes in the encoded amino acid, of which 28 were missense mutations that affected highly conserved amino acids within the protein sequence of GBSSI, SSIIa or SBEIIb. Two indels were identified in Potamophila parviflora, a close relative of Zizania palustris, a North American native wild rice. Most of the nucleotide variations and non-conservative changes were observed in the genomes other than the AA genome species. This represents a genetic resource for use in rice starch manipulation. The impact of human selection at these loci can be deduced by comparison of modern cultivated genotypes with their wild progenitors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
