Combining Ability and Standard Heterosis Analysis of Two-Line System Hybrid Rice

Photoperiod and thermosensitive genetic male sterile (PTGMS) lines have become one of the main sources of global rice production increasing. This study was conducted to evaluate the fertility alteration and validate the male sterility genes using validation markers in novel Egyptian Indica and Japonica PTGMS lines under natural conditions. The study revealed that the new genetic male sterile lines belong to the type of photo–thermosensitive genetic male sterility (PTGMS). The fertility alteration of these lines has influenced by photoperiod and temperature interaction. The new PTGMS lines have three sensitive periods of fertility alteration; transformation, sterility, and fertility period. Furthermore, the sensitive stage of fertility transformation might be from secondary branch primordial to pollen mother cells (PMC) meiosis. Under the natural Sakha condition, the new PTGMS lines were stable sterile under the condition of day length upper 13,75 h and temperature over 25 °C, while its convert to fertile under day length under 13 h, and temperature lower than 24 °C. The co-dominant markers identified the pms3 and tms5 genes in the new PTGMS lines, indicated that the fertility alteration in these lines controlled by photoperiod and thermosensitive stages.

Hybrid rice parental lines with better combining abilities provide an efficient tool to increase rice production. In the current study, twenty hybrid combinations were generated from five aromatic cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines and four restorer lines (three of them aromatic) using a line × tester mating design. The hybrids and their parental lines were evaluated under two water regimes: normal irrigation and water-stress. Ten yield-component traits were studied over a period of 2 years, and the significant differences between the parents and hybrids are reported in this investigation. Overall, all yield component traits were significantly affected by the water deficit and were governed by both additive and non-additive gene actions. More specifically, the grain yield (GY) was mainly controlled by non-additive gene action under both normal and water-stress conditions. The contribution of the additive variance (σ2 A) was more prominent in the genetic components of traits as compared to the dominance variance (σ2 D). The aromatic parental line CMS IR58025A and the restorer line PR2 were recorded as the best combiners for the GY and good combiners for many other characteristics under both growth conditions. The cross combinations Pusa12A/IR25571-31R and Pusa12A/Giza-Basmati-201 revealed significantly positive specific combining ability (SCA) effects for the GY under both normal and water-stress conditions. The inconsistent correlation between the general combining ability (GCA) and SCA manifested complex interactions among the positive and negative alleles of the genes controlling the yield traits. Generally, the findings of this investigation demonstrated the importance of the GCA and SCA for understanding the genetic components and gene actions of the yield characteristics in new aromatic hybrid rice parental lines. Therefore, we recommend considering these findings in the selection of elite parents for developing superior aromatic hybrid rice varieties under water-stress conditions.

The technology of hybrid rice utilizing heterosis is an essential requirement for achieving food security. The current study was aimed at assessing the genetic parameters and the gene actions of 15 yield-component traits associated with heterosis, in 9 new parental lines of hybrid rice and their generated hybrids. Five cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines were crossed with four restorer (R) lines using twenty generated line × tester designation hybrid combinations. The results revealed that all the traits were controlled by additive and non-additive gene actions. However, the additive variance was the main component of the total genotypic variance. Assessment of the general combining ability (GCA) detected the best combiners among the genotypes. The hybrid combinations that expressed the highest-positive specific combining ability (SCA) for grain-yield were detected. The correlation between the GCA and SCA was evaluated. The hybrid crosses with high-positive heterosis, due to having a better parent for grain yield, were detected. The principal component analysis (PCA) recorded the first four principal axis displayed Eigenvalues >1 and existing variation cumulative of 83.92% in the genotypes for yield component characteristics. Three-dimensional plots corresponding to the studied traits illustrated that the genotypes Guang8A × Giza181, Quan-9311A × Giza179, II-32A × Giza181, and II-32A × Giza179 are classified as possessing superior grain yield.
