Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the major food crops in many countries. As the cultivation of rice requires huge volume of water, long term use of Arsenic contaminated groundwater for irrigation may result in the increase of arsenic concentration in the agricultural soil and eventually accumulation in rice grains. A micro level study was conducted to investigate the transfer of arsenic from irrigation water and soil to rice plants in the arsenic affected 8 unions of Chandina upazilla, Comilla district. The level of arsenic in irrigation water (0.12±0.08 and 0.67±0.07 mg l-1) was much above the WHO permissible limit of 0.01 mg l-1 for drinking water and FAO permissible limit of 0.10 mg l-1 for irrigation water. The total soil arsenic concentrations ranged from 3.21±0.80 to 8.74±2.83 mg kg-1 dry weight of soil, which was below the maximum acceptable limit for agricultural soil of 20.0 mg kg-1 as recommended by the European Community. The accumulation of arsenic in the grain ranged from 0.12±0.04 to 0.58±0.06 mg kg-1 in Boro and 0.16±0.04 to 1.06±0.20 mg kg-1 in T. Aman. Except grain sample (T. Aman) of one union, the grains in both Boro and T. Aman of all unions did not exceed 1.0 mg kg-1 dry weight of arsenic (the permissible limit of arsenic in rice according to WHO recommendation). Thus, till now rice has remained harmless for consumption in the study area. The results clearly showed that the arsenic content in the grains of Boro rice is correlated to the intensity of arsenic contamination of irrigation water and soil. The Agriculturists 2014; 12(2) 74-82

Abstract In this study, we examined the effects of different extraction methods for the GC-MS- and LC-MS-based metabolite profiling of white rice (Oryza sativa L.). In addition, the metabolite divergence of white rice cultivated in either Korea or China was also evaluated. The discrimination analysis of each extraction method for white rice from Korea and China and the corresponding discriminatory markers were estimated by unpaired t-test, principal component analysis, k-means cluster analysis, partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and random forest (RF). According to the prediction parameters obtained from PLS-DA and RF classifiers as well as features that could be identified, the extraction method using 75% isopropanol heated at 100°C coupled with LC-MS analysis was confirmed to be superior to the other extraction methods. Noticeably, lysophospholipid concentrations were significantly different in white rice between Korea and China, and they are novel markers for geographical discrimination. In conclusion, our study suggests an optimized extraction and analysis method as well as novel markers for the geographical discrimination of white rice.
