Development of method for F1 seed production of KUH3 and KUH4 three-line hybrid rice varieties
Abstract:
F1 seed production is one of the key factors affecting the success of commercial hybrid rice. This research aimed to evaluate flowering synchronization, row ratios of A and R line and the effect of GA3 applied at different flowering stages on traits of parental lines in hybrid seed production. Field experiments were performed in the dry and wet seasons, and parents of KUH3 (IR80151A/KUR4-116) and KUH4 (HCSA/CH1) were tested with five row ratios (A:R): 1:1, 2:1, 2:2, 4:2 and 6:2. A micro-plot experiment was also employed for A line multiplication (HCSA/HCSB) under five treatments: applying GA3 at 0%, 10%, 30% and 50% at the heading stage and not applying GA3. Days to 50% flowering (DFF), growing degree days (GDD), effective accumulated temperature (EAT), seed setting rate (SSR), seed yield per plant (SYP), seed yield per hectare (SYH) and traits of these lines were measured. The results showed that KUH3 hybrid seeds were produced, while KUH4 hybrid seeds were not borne because of non-flowering synchronization of the parents in both seasons. KUR4-116 and HCSA required long DFF and high GDD or EAT to reach flowering compared to IR80151A and CH1. A significant difference in SSR, SYP and SYH of KUH3 seed production in the dry season was presented among the different row ratios, while no significant difference in SYH was exhibited in the wet season. Applying GA3 at different flowering stages significantly affected plant height, length of three uppermost internodes, panicle exsertion of both lines, and influenced stigma exsertion, SSR and SYP of A line. A row ratio of 4:2 and applying GA3 at 30% at heading stage can be used for increasing yields of hybrid rice seed production in the dry season.
