Phospholipids (PLs) play a prominent role in both grain cellular structure and Phospholipids (PLs) play a prominent role in both grain cellular structure and nutritional function of cereal crops. Their lyso forms (lysophospholipids, LPLs) often combine with cereal starch to form an amylose-lipid complex (ALC) which may influence starch properties. In this study, 20 rice accessions were grown over two seasons at the same location to explore diversity in LPLs of milled rice. Levels of specific LPLs differed significantly among rice genotypes, demonstrating there is a wide diversity in LPLs in rice grain. The main LPL components were lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)16:0 …
