On Significance of Heterotic Group Theory in Hybrid Rice Breeding

doi:10.1016/S1672-6308(08)60110-9

Abstract

Abstract: Heterotic group theory (HGT) has played a major role in supporting hybrid maize breeding for about 100 years. The basic content and studies of HGT, and its application in rice and maize were summarized in this paper. Additionally, difficulties and challenges for hybrid rice breeding in China were analyzed, and necessity and urgency in hybrid rice breeding by using HGT were proposed.

Key words: hybrid rice, hybrid maize, breeding, three-line system, combining ability, heterotic group, crossing model
