Hybrid rice has an average 15% to 20% yield advantage over inbred lines. The availability
of stable cytoplasmic male sterility system is vital for commercial hybrid rice. The experiment …

Cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines often get contaminated with cognate isonuclear
maintainer lines during multiplication. The fingerprinting of rice hybrids and their respective …

Abstract 24 CMS lines of rice derived from wild abortive male sterility source were evaluated
for various agronomical and floral traits. Out of 24 CMS lines IR68897A, IR68628A …

The development and use of hybrid rice varieties on commercial scale using male sterility
and fertility restoration system has proved to be a breakthrough in rice improvement. The …

A study was carried out to identify restorers and maintainers for use as parental lines in a
hybridization programme. Twenty elite rice genotypes were crossed in a Line x Tester …

Five CMS lines were crossed with 49 genotypes as 'testers 'to get 245 hybrids. The 245
hybrids were subjected to pollen and spikelet fertility analysis. Among the 245 hybrids 21 …

Rice is the world's most important food crop and a primary source of food for more than half
of the world's population. More than 90% of the world's rice is grown and consumed in Asia …

ABSTRACT A total of 74 CMS lines and their maintainers were evaluated for morphological
and floral characters influencing out crossing rate. Out of 74 CMS lines, forty two CMS lines …
