<p class="042abstractstekst">The study quantified the effect of gibberellic acid (GA<sub>3</sub>) as a pre-flowering treatment for male parent Giza 178 R and the influence of male to female ratio (2R:10A, 2R:12A, 2R:14A and 2R:16A) between male (R) to female (A) for two Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (CMS) lines (‘IR69625’ and ‘G46’) on hybrid rice seed production. The main plots were occupied by CMS lines while; GA3 application for male parent Giza 178R were arranged in the sub plots and male to female ratio was arranged in the sub-sub plots. The results indicated that, the, duration of floret opening, angle of floret opening, filaments exsertion, filaments length<strong>, </strong>anther length, plant height and number of tiller hill<sup>-1 </sup>of male parent Giza 178R were significantly at 300 g GA<sub>3</sub> ha<sup>-1</sup> concentration. Plant height, panicle exsertion, panicle length, flag leaf angle and 1000-grain mass of CMS were not significantly affected by the GA<sub>3</sub> application for male parent and male to female ratio, while, number of fertile panicles hill<sup>-1</sup>, panicle mass, seed set, seed yield and harvest index of CMS lines were highly significantly affected. The highest seed yield (2.880 and 2.950 t ha<sup>-1</sup>) was obtained by CMS line IR69625A using 300 g GA<sub>3</sub> ha<sup>-1</sup> of male parent Giza 178R with male to female ratio of 2R:14A during both seasons.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
