PBW RS1 is a newly developed, nutritionally enhanced wheat variety from the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) in Ludhiana, known for its high levels of resistant starch (RS) (30.3%) and amylose (56.63%), which help to slow glucose release and control blood sugar. This makes it beneficial for managing conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity by promoting satiety and a lower glycemic index. The variety is also resistant to yellow rust and moderately resistant to brown rust, although its yield is lower than other varieties.
The average height of the plants of PBW RS 1 variety is 87 cm and it matures in 146 days for harvest after sowing. This variety is resistant to yellow rust disease and fights brown rust to a large extent, PAU officials said.
Average yield of PBW RS 1 variety is 17.1 quintals per acre. PAU scientists have recommended sowing this variety from the second to the fourth week of November.
Key Features & Benefits
High Resistant Starch:
PBW RS1 contains significantly more resistant starch than other varieties, which is indigestible and acts like fiber, slowing down glucose release into the bloodstream.
High Amylose Content:
The higher proportion of amylose starch contributes to its low glycemic index and helps with better blood sugar management.
Lower Glycemic Index:
Chapatis and other products made from PBW RS1 have a lower glycemic index, resulting in a slower and more gradual rise in blood sugar levels.
Increased Satiety:
The slower digestion of resistant starch leads to a longer feeling of fullness, potentially reducing overall food consumption.
Disease Management:
Its high resistant starch and amylose content make it a promising dietary choice for individuals concerned about or living with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Disease Resistance:
PBW RS1 is resistant to yellow rust and moderately resistant to brown rust fungal diseases.
