After annotating the GO database, all the DEGs were classified into three main categories: biological process, molecular function, and cellular component. In the biological process, “metabolic process”, “cellular process”, “single-organism process”, “response to stimulus”, and “biological regulation” were the five processes with the highest degree of DEGs enrichment. In terms of molecular function, most DEGs were concentrated in two processes: “catalytic activity” and “binding”. For the cellular component, the five most common processes were “cell”, “membrane”, “organelle”, “organelle part” and “cell part”. As of 2008, Koshihikari BL accounted for 97% of Koshihikari production in Niigata Prefecture, the largest rice-growing region in Japan. [3] Etymology [ edit ]

The symptoms of leaf sheath after inoculation are shown in Fig. S1. After inoculation for 24 h, evident brown spots appeared on the leaf sheath of Koshihikari; 48 h after inoculation, they were grey. These spots appeared on the leaf sheath of Shennong 9819 at 36 h after inoculation. The expanded area of the spot of Koshihikari was significantly larger than that of Shennong 9819 at 72 h after inoculation. Kobayashi A, Hori K, Yamamoto T, Yamamoto T, Yana M.

Echigo Koshihikari Beer Tasting Notes

Sushi rice is not cheap – some brands and varieties can be very expensive. Try several varieties to find one that you like, then buy a large bag to make it cost-effective. It will keep uncooked in an airtight container for up to a year. What kind of seasoning can be used for sushi rice?

Hokkaido, home of the popular rice brand Yumepirika, is another region known for its mild climate, long winters, and cool summers. The coastal prefecture faces both the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan. However, unlike most regions in Japan, this cold and wet landscape does not have a rainy season, and instead very icy winters. Yumepirpika , as a result, is a variety highly resistant to cold weather. Tonnessen BW, Manosalva P, Lang JM, Baraoida M, Bordeos A, Mauleon R, et al.

It does not have to be a proper measurement cup. I even use a mug. One mug of uncooked rice, and using the same mug, add the mug of water to pour in.
