The seed production feasibility of approved hybrid varieties of rice were assessed using 15 commercially approved varieties comprising four public hybrids. Higher seed yield potentiality and earliness in maturity were the two most important indicators for popularizing hybrid rice variety in Bangladesh. The field performance of the approved hybrid rice varieties were found to vary significantly for different traits. Maximum outcrossing potential was observed in SL08HA followed by BRRI hybrid dhan2A but F1 seed yield per plant was the highest in BRRI hybrid dhan3A due to its high tillering ability followed by BRRI hybrid dhan2A, ACI1A and Heera2A. Among the tested entries F1 seed production potentiality of BRRI hybrid dhan3A was maximum indicated its commercial prospect of large scale seed production. Public bred hybrid BRRI hybrid dhan3 and BRRI hybrid dhan2 has immense potentiality for large scale commercialization but BRRI should ensure the quality of parental lines seed as well as supply sufficient amount of seeds according to the demand. Private company hybrids ACI1H and Heera2H have good commercial prospects but seed production under Bangladesh conditions needs to be fine tune.

A field experiment was carried out at the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) farm, Gazipur during dry season 2013-14 to find out the appropriate GA3 dose and row ratio for hybrid seed production. GA3 doses were applied @ 0, 80, 160, 240 and 320 g ha-1 with different row ratio. Results revealed that GA3 application influenced the panicle exsertion rate only. The calculated optimum GA3 dose was 302.4 g ha-1 with the highest PER (84.62%). Seed yield and OCR were influenced by row ratio. The highest OCR was observed with 2:12 row ratio while the highest seed yield was found in 2:14 row ratio.Bangladesh Rice j. 2015, 19(1): 57-61

The outcrossing traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.) affect the yield of hybrid seed production. Using a cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) line with good outcrossing traits, such as short flag leaf length (FLL), narrow flag leaf width (FLW), wide flag leaf angle (FLA), and elongated panicle neck length (PNL), for hybrid rice seed production, it is possible to avoid the procedure of cutting flag leaves and make the supplementary pollination feasible by machine. In this study, a japonica restorer C-bao as the receptor parent and a primitive japonica accession Ludao as the donor parent were used to construct a chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) population. The CSSL population was used to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for the four outcrossing traits using a likelihood ratio test based on the stepwise regression (RSTEP-LRT) method. The CSSL population constructed consisted of 163 lines covering 90.7% of the donor genome. Among the seven QTLs detected in the CSSL population, four QTLs were detected in both years. qFLL-4 explained 6.70% of the two-year-averaged phenotypic variance, and the alleles from Ludao decreased FLL 5.1 cm. qFLA-1.1 and qFLA-1.2 explained 7.85% and 21.29% of the 2-year-averaged phenotypic variance respectively, and the alleles from Ludao increased FLA 17.38° and 31.50°. qPNL-8 explained 8.87% of the 2-year-averaged phenotypic variance, and the alleles from Ludao increased PNL 4.44 cm. These favorable alleles identified could be used to improve the outcrossing traits of parents for hybrid rice seed production in rice.

Component lines (A and R lines) of BRRI hybrid dhan2 were assessed under treatment of GA3 application and row ratio on days to 5% and 50% flowering, duration of opening of floret, angle of open floret, filament length, anther length, stigma length, panicle exsertion rate, stigma exsertion rate and outcrossing rate. The CMS line viz; BRRI 10A have been found to be usable female parents for hybrid rice seed production due to their stigma length, stigma exsertion rate, duration of blooming, anther length and filament length. The different between genotypic and phenotypic variation was not remarkable for most of the characters studied indicating negligible environmental influence on the traits. The maximum duration of opening of floret (158.10 min) and angle of floret opening (28.870) were obtained with the application of 350 g GA3 ha-1. The improvement in the floral traits with increased GA3 level might be due to increased availability of GA3 which enhanced floral traits. The CMS line can be used as potential female parent in hybrid rice seed production of BRRI hybrid dhan2. Bangladesh J. Agril.

The seed production potentialities of selected 20 hybrid rice combination were assessed in this study. Higher seed yield potentiality and earliness in maturity were two of the most important indicators for popularizing hybrid rice variety in Bangladesh. The field performance of the selected hybrid rice combinations were found to vary significantly for different traits except number of total spikelets per panicle showed insignificant variation among the hybrid rice genotypes. The highest number of tillers per plant was recorded in BRRI7A/BRRI31R (17.33) which was followed by BRRI10A/BRRI20R (16.33) and BRRI7A/BRRI20R (16.17). Maximum number of panicles per plant was produced by BRRI7A/BRRI31R (14.00) which was followed by BRRI10A/BRRI31R (13.07), and BRRI11A/BRRI31R (12.47). The highest number of filled spikelets per panicle was produced by BRRI7A/BRRI31R (48.20) which was followed by IR79156A/BRRI31R (47.83) and BRRI7A/BRRI10R (44.63) respectively. The highest value for percent out crossing rate (%OCR) was observed in the combination of BRRI7A/BRRI31R (50.23%) which was followed by BRRI10A/BRRI10R (46.40%). The highest value for grain yield per plant was recorded in BRRI7A/BRRI31R (8.17g) followed by BRRI10A/BRRI10R (7.85 g) and BRRI11A/BRRI15R (7.68 g), respectively. The lowest value for grain yield per plant was found in IR79156A/BRRI31R (3.97 g). Considering comparative study of floral traits, BRRI7A/BRRI31R hybrid rice combination has good commercial prospects but seed production potentiality under Bangladesh conditions needs to be estimated with fine tune.

Gibberellic acid (GA3) application after anthesis is an important practice in hybrid rice seed production, and it plays diverse roles in seed quality and seed yield. The main objective of this study was to determine (1) the effects of GA3 application after anthesis on seed vigor and (2) the optimal GA3 dosage applied to Indica hybrid rice seed production. Field experiments of different GA3 dosages (15 g hm−2 and 30 g hm−2, respectively) after anthesis were conducted in 2016 and 2017, and seed vigor parameters, stigma vigor index, and seed yield were determined. We found that significant differences in seed vigor parameters by a standard germination test and a cool germination test were observed among different GA3 dosages after anthesis. Compared with the water spraying treatment, the germination percentage (GP) increased by 2.5–6.3%, and the vigor index (VI) increased by 8.9–19.8% from GA3 application after anthesis, respectively. Moreover, the stigma vigor index of the female parent was enhanced with an increasing GA3 dosage, and there were significant increases (7.5–16.0%) between the water spraying treatment and GA3 spraying treatments. There were positive significant relationships between the VI and stigma vigor index. Additionally, the seed yield of the GA3 application with 30 g hm−2 was 3.9% higher on average than that of the water spraying treatment. Therefore, our study suggests that seed vigor can be increased by GA3 application after anthesis, and GA3 application should be applied at a rate of 30 g hm−2 to improve seed vigor and maintain seed yield in Indica hybrid rice seed production.

This paper reviews the constraints and opportunities of hybrid rice development in Indonesia. Indonesia has released more than a hundred hybrid rice varieties; Indonesian Center for Rice Research (ICRR) developed 21 varieties. Extensive trials were conducted on the various aspects of seed production by government sectors and private companies. Significant progress has been made in hybrid rice seed production, with seed yield increasing from 1 t/ha to 3 t/ha. Various problems should be considered to develop a good seed production system. The constraints are the low outcrossing rate, shortage of suitable land, high cost and labor, lack of trained personnel, climatic fluctuations in rainfall and temperature, and limited hybrid rice seed grower. Private sectors investment in hybrid rice has been increased. Positive support from government and private companies will boost hybrid rice’s adoption rapidity. Collaboration of hybrid rice dissemination across institutions was a meaningful way to encourage hybrid rice adoption. Optimizing seed production technologies could significantly increase the present level of hybrid seed yield. The opportunities are an increase of rice demand, various materials genetic, distribution of rice ecosystem, and public-private sector partnership that developed on hybrid seed production to accelerate the adoption of hybrid rice. It supports not only the research and development but also the dissemination and adoption.

AbstractSeveral biotic and abiotic stresses significantly decrease the biomass accumulation and seed yield of sesame crops under rainfed areas. However, plant growth regulators (such as Paclobutrazol) can improve the total dry matter and seed production of the sesame crop. The effects of the paclobutrazol application on dry matter accumulation and seed yield had not been studied before in sesame under rainfed conditions. Therefore, a two-year field study during 2018 and 2019 was conducted with key objectives to assess the impacts of paclobutrazol on leaf greenness, leaf area, total dry matter production and partitioning, seed shattering, and seed yield of sesame. Two sesame cultivars (TS-5 and TS-3) were treated with four paclobutrazol concentrations (P0 = Control, P1 = 100 mg L−1, P2 = 200 mg L−1, P3 = 300 mg L−1). The experiment was executed in RCBD-factorial design with three replications. Compared with P0, treatment P3 improved the leaf greenness of sesame by 17%, 38%, and 60% at 45, 85, and 125 days after sowing, respectively. However, P3 treatment decreased the leaf area of sesame by 14% and 20% at 45 and 85 days after sowing than P0, respectively. Compared with P0, treatment P3 increased the leaf area by 46% at 125 days after sowing. On average, treatment P3 also improved the total biomass production by 21% and partitioning in roots, stems, leaves, capsules, and seeds by 23%, 19%, 23%, 22%, and 40%, respectively, in the whole growing seasons as compared to P0. Moreover, under P3 treatment, sesame attained the highest seed yield and lowest seed shattering by 27% and 30%, respectively, compared to P0. This study indicated that by applying the paclobutrazol concentration at the rate of 300 mg L−1 in sesame, the leaf greenness, leaf areas, biomass accumulation, partitioning, seed yield, and shatter resistance could be improved. Thus, the optimum paclobutrazol level could enhance the dry matter accumulation and seed production capacity of sesame by decreasing shattering losses under rainfed conditions.

Abstract A single foliar spray with either antiethylene compounds or cytokinins shortly after anthesis reduced conelet abortion by half and doubled seed production. Spraying with boric acid plus Cytex® , a relatively economical form of cytokinin derived from seaweed, was equally effective,and addition of certain antiethylene compounds further improved seed yield.
