• Rice isone of the most important staple food crop of the world
grown in more than one hundred countries.
• It contributes more than 60 per cent to the world food basket.
• It is a warm season crop, grown extensively in the humid tropical
and subtropical regions of the world
• China, India, Japan, Korea, South-Eastern Asia and the adjacent
islands of the Pacific accounting about 90 per cent of the world rice
production.
• Rice is India's predominant crop and is the staple food for people of
the eastern and southern parts of India.
• Rice is one of the oldest cultivated crops.

Cultivated Species ofRice
(A) Asian Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
It is predminant species which has spread to different part of world.
(B)African Rice (Oryza glaberrima L.)
It is still confined to tropical Africa
The Asian rice grouped into three ecological forms based on morphological and
physiological characteristics and geographical adaptation.
1. Indica : Grown in Tropical climate: India, Sri- Lanka, China,Thailand,
Malaysia, Taiwan
2. Japonica: Temperate climate : Japan, Korea
3. Javanica: Intermediate between Indica and Japonica: Indonesia

Origin of cultivatedrice
The views regarding the origin of rice can be grouped in to two classes viz.,
a) Polyphyletic origin b) Monophyletic origin.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 4
5.
• According topolyphyletic origin the present day rice varieties have
originated from several species.
• According to monophyletic origin a single species has given rise to all
varieties of cultivated rice. viz., Oryza sativa, Oryza glaberrima
• Most of the modern rice workers believe that origin of cultivated rice
monophyletic.
• From Oryza perennis rose the Asian rice in South East tropical Asia
and African rice in the upper valley of Niger River in Africa.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 5

Species in thegenus Oryza:
According to the
latest view the genus
oryza include 20 wild
species. Out of these
two are cultivated
diploids viz. O.sativa
and O.glaberrima
and rest are wild
species which
include both diploid
and tetraploid forms.

Grain yield ofrice is a complex character. It is influenced by many
morphological traits and physiological process. These along with interaction
of environment decide the yield potential. It is necessary to assemble in the
rice variety a desirable combination of genes for those plant characteristics,
that will enable the rice plant to give higher yields.
To get higher yield we must have an ideal plant type. The ideal plant type is
- Short stature.
- Thick, Stiff culm
- Compact panicle that hold the plant erect.
- Short, narrow, erect leaves to effectively utilise solar radiation.
- high tillering Non / low photo sensitivity
- Nitrogen responsive
- Flag leaf angle should not be more than 400 .
1. High yield potential :
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 10
11.
2. Adaptability andstability of yield :
• Wide adaptability across locations is desired since rice is grown over a
large variety of agroclimatic zones which are varying. IRRI varieties
are having wide adaptability. Characteristics associated with wider
adaptability are
- low sensitivity to temperature variations.
- low sensitivity to changes in light intensity.
- Resistant to wide spectrum of pests and diseases.
Across seasons refers to the consistency with which a variety produces
satisfactory yield in an area where biotic and abiotic conditions may
vary every season of a year. Tolerance to local fluctuations in biotic and
abiotic stress is important.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 11
12.
3. Early maturity:
•This character is desired to have multiple cropping. It is also helpful
to overcome terminal drought and to escape from pest and diseases.
• In rice the optimum early maturity will be around 105 days. When
the duration is reduced still further, the yield is also reduced
correspondingly.
• CR 666, Akashi, Co 41 are varieties having less than 100 days
duration.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 12
13.
4. Resistant tolodging and shattering.
This is also a complex character. Non lodging lines will have
- Short stature
- Thick strong culm
- Short internode
- Leaf sheath tightly encircling the culm.
Grain shattering is also a complex character. Wild rice are having this
character. So while using wild rice as parents this should not be linked
with desirable trait which is to be transmitted.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 13
14.
5. Resistance tocold temperature :
More suited to cumbum valley and Gudalur taluk of Nilgiris. Japonica
rice varieties are more cold tolerant
MDU 2 cold tolerant (Co 25 x IR 8)
6. Resistant to salinity and alkalinity :
Parts of Trichy and Dharmapuri districts of Tamil Nadu face this
problem. Old varieties : SR 26 B, Gettu, Dasal.
Latest Co 43 (Dasal x IR 20), ADT 35, TRY 1, TRY 2
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 14
15.
7. Resistant toDiseases:
• Blast, Helminthosporium, bacterial leaf blight, Tungro virus are some
of the important diseases .
✓Blast resistant varieties :
• IR 20, Medium duration
• Co 37, short duration
• Co 25, Long duration
Grassy stunt : O. nivara.
Blast and BLB : O. minuta tetraploid.
resistant Co 45 - resistant to RTV, Blast and BLB. PY 3 - RTV, BLB
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 15

8. Resistant topests:
Brown plant hopper, Stem borer, Rice gall midge are important pests.
Stem borer donor :
TKM 6 IR 20,
(IR 262 x TKM 6) PY 3 - Bharathidasan - Resistant to BPH
O.officinalis BPH Resistant

17.
9. Improved grainquality
a) Grain shape size and texture
Rice cultivars can be classified based on the size, shape and texture of the grain.
According to FAO the trade grades are
Length :
Extra long - over 7 mm
length Long - 6 to 7 mm
Medium - 5 to 5.99 mm
Short - below 5mm.
Shape :
Based on Length / Breath ratio.(L/B ratio).
Basmathi, Ponni, Slender - over 3 L/B
IR 20 Medium - 2.0 to 3.0 L/B
Co 37 Bold - 2.0 to 2.39 L/B
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 17
18.
Texture :
Two maintypes are recognized
1. Hard starchy grain with (translucent) vitreous fracture
2. Soft dextrinous grain with opaque fracture. Known as glutinous rice.
Hard starchy types are the major one consumed. They differ in their
translucency, hardiness and presence or absence of abdominal white
depending on starch content.
They remain dry and flaky when cooked. Soft dextrinous grain become
sticky and clot on cooking and usually used for special dishes (puttu
rice). These types are preferred by people using chop sticks for eating.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 18
19.
b) Aroma andCooking quality:
• Some varieties give aroma when it is cooked.
• Varieties like Basmati scented rice there will be elongation in the cooked rice also.
The aroma is due to certain chemicals present in endosperm. An alkaloid
PANDAMARILACTIONE is the cause of fragrance. This alkaloid is present in
the leaves of Pandanus also.
• E.g. Basmati 370
Zeeraga Samba
ADT41
Kalabath
Seetha bogam
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 19
20.
• The cookingquality vary with the variety and grain type.
• Long grain varieties remain dry and flaky when cooked,
• while medium and short grain varieties are sticky and chewy.
Preference for a particular variety differs with use.
• In evaluating rice varieties cooking tests are conducted for
a) Amylose content,
b) Water absorption properties
c) Gelatinisation test.
d) Grain elongation ratio
e) Protein content
f) Par boiling quality
g) Milling out turn. Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 20
21.
c) Nutritive value:
Protein in brown rice is about 8% while in polished rice it is about 7%
Inheritance of protein content is complex. It depends on environment
and nitrogen application. When protein content is increased there will be
lowering of lysine content.
d) Colour of kernel :
The preference for particular kernel colour varies with region to region.
In Kanyakumari and Kerala red rice is preferred. Depending on local
needs the varieties are to be evolved.
TKM 9 - Red rice, (TKM 7 x IR 8)
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 21
22.
e) Milling outturn
The unhusked rice grain is known as Rough rice or paddy.
The miller converts it to brown rice by scouring off the outer bran layer.
The value of rough rice depends largely on its milling quality which is
determined by head rice and total rice that is obtained from rough rice.
Head rice : Whole grain and large broken pieces.
Total rice : includes all rice recovered after milling.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 22
23.
10. Breeding foralternate source of dwarfing gene
• All the present day cultivars are result of breeding with dwarfing gene
Dee - Gee - Woo - Gen there is danger in using the same source.
• If Dee - Gee - Woo - Gen becomes susceptible to a new pest or
disease, the whole programme will collapse.
• So it is necessary to seek alternate sources of dwarfing gene. Efforts
are underway to identify alternate source through conventional and
non - conventional breeding techniques.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 23
24.
11) Breeding varietiessuited for direct sown conditions.
• This again a location specific problem. In cauvery delta region getting
cauvery water becomes an uncertainty these days. To minimize water
requirement direct sowing of rice is recommended. The varieties for
direct seeding must be quick growing and suppress weed growth.
12) Varieties suited for dry land conditions
• In certain parts of Ramnad and Chengalpet rice is grown as dryland
crop. Local land races like kurivikalayan and puttu rice are grown. To
suit these needs varieties are to be evolved.
13. Deep water paddy:
• Areas in tail end parts of cauvery delta need deep water paddy. It is
again a location specific problem TNR 1 and TNR 2.Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 24
25.
14. Varieties suitedfor export
The scented rice Basmati 370 is exported to Arab countries. The limitation in this
programme is Basmati 370 grown in all areas cannot be exported. The importing
countries prefer the Basmati Rice grown is valleys of Himalayan Range only. The
rice grown in those area alone pass the chemical test. This must be due to effect of
environment. Efforts are underway to identify export quality scented varieties grown
in other parts of the country.
15. To breed varieties to control wild rice
This again a location specific problem.. In states of Bihar, Maharastra, Madhya
pradesh and Punjab the wild rice O. sativa var. fatua is often creating problems. So
it is necessary to have marker genes in cultivated rice to isolate them from wild
ones. Purple colour stem is a marker.
16. Breeding varieties to suit any other local problems.
E.g. - to identify varieties to cultivate in areas of turmeric cultivation where a short
duration 70 days rice variety can be fit in between two turmeric crops Satari - short
duration ( 70 days).

What is HybridRice?
The first generation offspring of a rice cross between two genetically diverse parents
➢Hybrid rice is the commercial rice crop grown from F1 seeds of cross
between two genetically dissimilar parents.
➢To exploit the benefits of hybrid rice, farmers have to buy fresh seeds
every cropping season.

Why Hybrid Rice?
➢Heterosis(Hybrid vigor) application to Increase:
✓Productivity (20-30 % of yield advantage), and
✓Economic returns
➢Heterosis
✓A universal phenomenon that F1 generation shows superiority to
both parents in agronomic traits or yield
✓It is present in all biological systems and has been exploited
commercially in many agricultural crops.
➢Demand for rice is rapidly increasing with the increase in
population, specially in under developed countries.
➢Hybrids have shown their ability to perform better under adverse
conditions of drought and salinity.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 34
35.
Challenges:
• Rapidly increasingpopulation.
• Food requirement is also expected to increase
substantially.
Food grain requirement during 2010 – 230 Million Tones
Expected requirement during 2020 – 300 Million Tones
• Declining land and water resources.
• Only 3.0% rice area (13.20 lakh ha) covered with
hybrid rice-Needs to be expanded.
Hybrid Rice- for food security and to met challenges
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 35
36.
• Yield potential15-30% more than high yielding varieties
gives higher return and investment.
• Hybrids are more tolerant to adverse growing conditions
e.g.. temporary drought stress, salinity and diseases.
• Better root growth helps higher fertilizer use efficiency and
therefore water & fertilizer saving is ensured.
Hybrid rice for food security & sustainability
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 36
37.
How is hybridrice developed?
Rice is strictly self-pollinated crop. Therefore, for developing
commercial rice hybrids, use of a male sterility system is essential. Male
sterility by genetic or non-genetic machanism makes the pollen unviable and
such rice spikelets are incapable of setting seeds through selfing. Thus, a
male sterile line can be used as female parent of a hybrid.
The seed set on male sterile parents is the hybrid seed which is used
for growing the commercial hybrid crop.
Male sterility systems in rice
The following genetic and non-genetic male sterility systems are
known for developing rice hybrids:
➢ Cytoplasmic-genetic male sterility.
➢ Environmental-sensitive genetic male sterility.
➢ Chemical-induced male sterility.

Prof. Yuan Long Ping (left),
Father of Hybrid Rice
Historical Development
1964: Research on hybrid rice
started
1970: A wild rice with aborted
pollen was identified
1974: First set of hybrids was
developed
1976: Hybrid rice released to the
farmers
~15 m ha (65%) area came under
hybrid riceDr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 38
39.
Indian Council ofAgriculture Research (ICAR), initiated a goal oriented
programme on hybrid rice research and development in December, 1989.
The research network consists of 12 active research centers across the
country each with a specific mandate.
35 rice hybrids have been released in the country so far. Out of these, 23
have been developed by the public sector and remaning are from private
sectors
Most widely cultivated rice hybrids are : PA 6444, PHB 71, PA 6201,
KRH 2, Sahyadri, Suruchi 5401, Pant Sankar Dhan 1 and DRR 1.
The first superfine grained aromatic hybrid Pusa RH 10 is becoming
popular in basmati belt of north-western India.
Narendra Usar Sankar Dhan-3 is the first hybrid released for saline-
alkaline soils of Uttar Pradesh. DRR 2 and Pant Sankar Dhan-1 are the
promising early hybrids.
During 2005, hybrids were grown in the country in an estimated area of
around 750000 ha.
Hybrid rice technology
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 39
Three-line method orCGMS system
• This system now a days known as CMS system, involving three lines viz.,
✓Cytoplasmic, genic male sterile line (A)
✓Maintainer line (B)
✓Restorer line (R)
• Until 1985, more than 95% of the CMS lines used in the commercial indica rice
hybrids, were of CMS-WA type which make the hybrid rice vulnerable to biotic
and abiotic stresses.
• And hence attempts to identify new sources of male sterile cytoplasm led to the
identification of CMS system like GA (Gambiaca), Di (Disi), DA (Dwarf wild
rice), BTC (Chinsurah Boro II) and IP (Ido Paddy 6).

44.
b) Two-line methodof rice breeding
Two-line hybrids can be evolved through
- Mechanical means
- Application of gametocides
- Use of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)
- Use of genic male sterility (GMS)
- Use of environmentally induced genic male sterility (EGMS)
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 44
45.
• In riceEGMS system is commonly used.
• In EGMS systems two kinds of rice lines are made use of
oPGMS (Photosensitive Genic Male Sterility)
oTGMS (Thermosensitive Genic Male Sterility)
• In this system male sterility is mainly controlled by one or two pairs of
recessive nuclear genes and has no relation to cytoplasm.
• Developing hybrid rice varieties with these system has the following
advantages over the classical CMS system, as given below.
oMaintainer lines are not needed.
oThe choice of parents for developing heterotic hybrids is greatly broadened.
oNo negative effect due to sterile cytoplasm
oUnitary cytoplasm situation of WA will be avoided.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 45
46.
Hybrid Rice SeedProduction
• Hybrid rice seeds were produced using (cytoplasmic genic male
sterility) three line system.
• The two genes Rf1 and Rf2 are the genes for fertility restoration.
• The process of hybrid rice production involves continuous supply of
agronomically improved cytoplasmic male sterile line (A), maintainer
line (B) and fertility restorer (R) line in system.
• Maintainer and restorer lines are maintained by selfing, while CMS
line and F1 seeds are produced with efforts to enhance cross
pollination in field.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 46
47.
Technique of hybridrice seed production
1. Choice of field : Fertile soil, protected irrigation and drainage system, sufficient
sunshine. No serious disease and insect problem.
2. Isolation : To ensure purity of hybrid seed and avoid pollination by unwanted
pollen isolation is a must.
a) Space isolation : No other rice varieties should be grown except pollen parent
with a range of 100m distance.
b) Time isolation : a time of over 20 days is practiced (The heading stage of other
variety over a 100m range should be 20 days earlier or later over the MS line).
c) Barrier isolators : Topographic features like wood lot, tall crops to a distance
of 30m/artificial obstacles of (plastic sheet) above 2m height.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 47
48.
3. Optimum timefor heading and flowering: Favorable climatic condition for
normal flowering are
(i) Mean temperature 24-28°C
(ii) Relative humidity 70-80%
(iii) Day and night temperature difference 8-10°C.
(iv) Sufficient sunshine
(v) Sufficient breeze.
4) Synchronization of flowering
As the seed set on MS line depends on cross pollination it is most important to
synchronize the heading date of the male and female parents. In addition, in order to
extend the pollen supply time, the male parent is usually seeded twice or thrice at an
interval of 5-7 days.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 48
49.
5) Row ratio,row direction and planting pattern
Row ratio refers to the ratio of number of rows of the male parent to that of the female
parent in the hybrid seed production field. The layout of row ratio depends on
a) The growth duration of the R line
b) Growth vigor of the R line
c) Amount of pollen shed and
d) Plant height of the R line.
The principles include
• R line should have enough pollen to provide
• the row direction should be nearly perpendicular to the direction of winds prevailing
at heading stage to facilitate cross pollination.
• Practically, a row ratio of 2:8 is currently widely used in indica hybrid seed
production.
• Generally, the R line is transplanted with two to three seedlings per hill and
separated by a spacing of 15cm from plant to plant, 30cm from one row of restorer
to another and 20cm from CMS line. The MS line is transplanted with one to two
seedlings per hill with a spacing of 15x15 cm
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 49
50.
• A goodpopulation structure to get more seed yield is given below :
a) Seedling/hill
b) Hills/sq.m
c) effective tillers/sq.m
• A line = 1-2 R line = 2-3
• A line = 30 R line = 5
• A line = 300 R line = 120
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 50
51.
6. Prediction andadjustment of heading date
• Even if the seeding interval between both parents is accurately determined, the
synchronization of their flowering might not still be attained because of variation
in temperature and difference in field management.
• Hence it is necessary to predict their heading date in order to take measures as
early as possible to make necessary adjustments by examining the primordial
initiation of panicle.
• Adjustment of flowering date can be made by applying quick releasing nitrogen
fertilizer on the earlier developing parent and
• The later developing parent should be sprayed with 2% solution DAP. By this
measure a difference of 4 to 5 days may be adjusted.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, CoA, Chamarajanagara 51
52.
7. Rogueing
To get98% purity of CMS lines and R lines, in addition to strict
isolation, a thorough rogueing is also necessary.
8. Harvesting and processing
- The male parent harvested first
- Care should be taken to avoid admixture of male and female lines.
- Female line should be threshed separately in a well cleaned threshing
floor
- Seed field dried in shade to 12% moisture content
- Packed in suitable, cleaned gunny bags after grading

ICAR initiated hybridrice breeding in India in 1989 in
collaboration with IRRI, through National Network and first set of
hybrids released in 1994.
The research network consists of 12 active research centers across
the country each with a specific mandate.
UNDP/FAO supported the programme since 1991-2000.
ICAR supported the programme under NATP until 2004.
35 rice hybrids have been released and many identified in the
country so far.
The rise in hybrid rice area has remained very slow; reaching less
than a million ha. in about 12 years i.e. about the same duration
during which China’s hybrid rice area surpassed 15 million ha.
Rice improvement program in India continued to treat it an adhoc
project mode.
In India, only CMS based hybrid seed production is done.
