A method for mechanized hybrid rice seed production using female sterile rice
Background The breeding and large-scale adoption of hybrid rice is an important achievement in modern agriculture. Mechanized seed production is urgently needed for widespread adoption of hybrid rice because it can compensate for the shortage of manual ...

Metabolomic prediction of yield in hybrid rice [PDF]
SummaryRice (Oryza sativa) provides a staple food source for more than 50% of the world's population. An increase in yield can significantly contribute to global food security. Hybrid breeding can potentially help to meet this goal because hybrid rice often shows a considerable increase in yield when compared with pure‐bred cultivars.

The Cds.71 on TMS5 May Act as a Mutation Hotspot to Originate a TGMS Trait in Indica Rice Cultivars
The gene tms5, which controls thermo-sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS), has been widely used in two-line hybrid rice breeding in China. The tms5 lines have two sources, namely, AnnongS-1 (AnS) and Zhu1S (ZhS) and, interestingly, are commonly subject ...
