“…Among the cultivars released after the end of the 1970s, only 'BR/IRGA 411' and 'BRS AG' were taller than 100 cm. It should be noted that 'BRS AG' was developed and released recently for ethanol production or animal feed (Magalhães Júnior et al, 2017b).…”

The objective of this work was to estimate the effects of genotype x environment interaction and the genetic potential of flood-irrigated rice cultivars, released between 1972 and 2017, for the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The experiments were carried out in the field, in all agroclimatic regions of flood-irrigated rice crop in the state, between the 2005/2006 and 2015/2016 crop years, totaling 60 environments (trials), with 1,961 experimental units. Twenty-five cultivars of irrigated rice were evaluated for the traits grain yield, plant height, days to flowering, and whole grain quality after milling. The values of adaptability and stability were estimated with the aid of mixed models. The rice cultivars BRS Pampa, BRS Pampeira, and BRSCIRAD 302 showed simultaneously high-genotypic grain yield, adaptability, stability, good agronomic traits, and good whole-grain yield after milling. 'BRSCIRAD 302' and 'BRS Pampa' show high-yield stability and can be recommended for all rice cultivation regions of Rio Grande do Sul. 'BRS Pampeira' is responsive to environmental improvements and is indicated for high-technology conditions.

“…The dimension of BRS AG grains is larger than those of conventional rice, one thousand grains of this rice have an average weight of 52 g, while the conventional rice cultivars show lower values, such as 25.6 g for BRS Pampa 13 . Added to that, the average yield of BRS AG planted is approximately 8.2 ton·ha −1 , approaching the average yield obtained by the BRS Pampa 9.2 ton·ha −1 11 .…”

“…In this context of the productive chain and the search for renewable energies that are economically viable and that do not compete with the food industry, Embrapa Clima Temperado, that is a Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation developed an irrigated rice cultivar, BRS AG. This cultivar was developed to be used as a raw material to produce cereal alcohol or animal feed 11 , 12 .…”

Ethanol is the main biofuel produced by fermentation route and the search for new feedstocks to produce fuel ethanol is still a great challenge. This work aims to compare the ethanol production from a new irrigated rice cultivar BRS AG to the conventional cultivar BRS PAMPA applied in Brazil. Six different commercial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (BG-1, CAT-1, FT-858, JP-1, PE-2, and SA-1) were applied in fermentation reactions. Fermentations performed with BRS PAMPA rice revealed that the highest yields were achieved with strain SA-1, corresponding to 93.0% of the theoretical maximum and final ethanol concentration of 58.92 g L−1, and with CAT-1, a yield of 92.7% and final ethanol concentration of 58.93 g L−1. For the fermentations with BRS AG rice, the highest yields were obtained with strain FT-858, exhibiting a 89.6% yield and final ethanol concentration of 62.45 g L−1, and with CAT-1, 87.9% yield and final ethanol concentration of 61.25 g L−1 were achieved. The most appropriate microorganism for ethanol production using BRS PAMPA rice and BRS AG rice was CAT-1. Comparatively, the ethanol yield and productivity using BRS AG were higher than those observed for BRS PAMPA for all strains, except for PE-2 and SA-1 that led to very similar results. The experimental results showed that the giant rice BRS AG is an excellent feedstock for fuel ethanol production in lowland fields.

“…Population growth and the search for renewable energy has stimulated research on the development of cereal cultivars characterized by a resistance or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses and with a high yield of certain metabolic molecules, such as starch [1]. The rice cultivar BRS AG shows an excellent genetic potential for the integration of alcohol and animal feed production and is a novel alternative for rice cultivation, providing greater economic sustainability to the agricultural sector [2]. Understanding how this new variety behaves under different conditions of biotic and abiotic stress is fundamental to ensure a balanced production across regions.…”

The rice cultivar BRS AG (Oryza sativa L.) is a cereal developed to serve as a raw material for ethanol production or animal feed, contributing to an increasing energy demand and the economic sustainability of the rice sector. However, only few studies have reported this new cultivar. As proteomic analysis is crucial in understanding the physiological and adaptive behavior of BRS AG rice leaves under biotic and abiotic stresses, the present study compared the following three precipitation protocols for the protein extraction of leaf tissue in two‐dimensional electrophoresis analysis: phenol method, trichloroacetic acid‐acetone method, and a third method developed in our laboratory (BIOPRO). The efficiency and repeatability of the protein extraction protocols were evaluated by two‐dimensional electrophoresis analysis. Our results indicate that the BIOPRO protocol was the most efficient in protein extraction as compared to the efficiency of other protocols. We detected a greater amount of protein (15.44 μg/μL) and 414 spots, and the BIOPRO protocol provided the best results regarding reproducibility, focusing, resolved spots, the intensity of spots, and single spot detection. This novel protocol is useful for extracting high‐quality proteins from leaves and presents an efficient removal of contaminants, which is directly linked to a better resolution for two‐dimensional electrophoresis analysis.
