impacts of seeding rate on interactions between rice and rice water weevils.	the rice water weevil, lissorhoptrus oryzophilus kuschel, is the most widely distributed and destructive early season insect pest of rice, oryza sativa l., in the united states. economic losses result primarily from feeding by the larval stage of this insect on the roots of flooded rice plants. prior studies suggest that infestations of rice water weevil larvae are more severe at low plant densities. moreover, because feeding by the rice water weevil reduces rice plant tillering, a process parti ...	2009	19886448
nutritionally important starch fractions of rice cultivars grown in southern united states.	dietary starches can be classified into 3 major fractions according to in vitro digestibility as rapidly digestible (rds), slowly digestible (sds), and resistant starch (rs). literature indicates that sds and/or rs have significant implications on human health, particularly glucose metabolism, diabetes management, colon cancer prevention, mental performance, and satiety. in this study, the nutritionally important starch fractions (rds, sds, and rs) in cooked rice were assayed in vitro, making us ...	2010	20629878
