What is it about?
To assess the important traits in some of rice cultivars growing in Eastern Himalayan Range for their phenolic acids presence in free and bound form. The bound phenolic acids contribute towards prevention of colon cancer. We have found that some of rice cultivars contain more bound phenolic acids than free form

Why is it important?
The unique nature of the work involves the identification of rice cultivars growing in the region having more phenolic acids in bound form so that their germ plasm could be preserved for propagation and cultivation as medicinal rice
Perspectives
Being located in one of the hot spots of diversity, the Eastern Himalayan range is bestowed with large varieties of rice cultivars growing abundantly there and assessment of their nutritional value would provide much information for future food security.
