Abstract
Amino acids, vitamins and lipids are the important micronutrients in rice grains. Their synthesis and regulation have important effects on the normal growth and development in rice seeds. This review has mainly summarized the new advances in the synthesis and regulation of amino acids, vitamins and lipids in rice grains. Simultaneously, the challenges of the synthesis and accumulation of the micronutrients in rice grains were also discussed. This review provides important information for genetic improvement of grain quality in rice and, potentially, other staple cereals.
