	<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">This study was
conducted to examine the physicochemical characteristics and perform QTL
mapping of genetic factors associated with the lipid content of rice. A rice
strain with a high lipid content, </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡°</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">P31-2-2-2-B-B</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡±</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, was developed from
mutants of </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡°</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Dongjin</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡±</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> created by T-DNA insertion.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The lipid
content of </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡°</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">P31-2-2-2-B-B</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡±</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> brown rice was 4.42% where</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">as that of
the donor cultivar </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡°</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Dongjin</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡±</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> was 2.56%. The total fatty acid
content of the high-lipid mutant brown rice was 7.82% and that of </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡°</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Dongjin</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡±</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> was 3.43%. The
unsaturated fatty acid composition of the mutant brown rice was 2.73% oleic acid,
2.74% linoleic acid, and 0.34% linolenic acid.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">In contrast, the fatty
acid composition of the donor cultivar </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡°</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Dongjin</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡± </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">was 1.30%
oleic acid and 0.99% linoleic acid. The percentage of unsaturated fatty acid to
total fatty acid in the high-lipid mutant was higher</span><span
