“…The genetics of HB have been studied in rice, especially in interspecific ( Oryza. sativa × O. glumaepatula and O. sativa × O. nivara ) and intersubspecific ( japonica and indica ) hybridizations ( Fukuoka et al 1998 , 2005 , Ichitani et al 2012 , Jiang et al 2008 , Kubo and Yoshimura 2002 , 2005 , Li et al 1997 , 2015 , Matsubara et al 2006 , 2007 , 2015 , Miura et al 2008 , Oka 1957 , 1978 , Oka and Doida 1962 , Okuno 1986 , Sato and Morishima 1988 , Sobrizal et al 2001 , Wu et al 1995 , Yamamoto et al 2007 , 2010a , Yokoo 1984 ). A simple genetic mechanism based on complementary recessive genes has been proposed.…”
