Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: This study deciphers the genetic architecture of rice bran nutraceuticals, providing elite germplasm, molecular markers, and candidate genes for breeding biofortified, heart-healthy rice varieties. Rice bran oil is uniquely rich in nutraceuticals, such as γ-oryzanol and tocols, which confer anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and cardioprotective properties. Despite their nutritional and economic...
