The Combining Ability for Grain Yield and Some Related Characteristics in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Under Normal and Water Stress Conditions

Abstract: Drought is considered a major threat to rice production. This study aimed to determine the effects of drought stress on the estimates of heterosis and the combining ability of rice genotypes for the number of days to 50% heading, plant height, number of panicles per plant, panicle length, number of filled grains per panicle, and grain yield per plant. Field experiments were conducted at the Rice Research and Training Center, Kafr El Sheikh, Egypt, during the rice-growing season in 2018 and 2019. Eight rice gen… Show more

“…Therefore, breeders use the combining ability to assess the breeding value of parental materials in hybrid production (Sprague and Tatum 1942 ). By identifying the combining ability of parents in phenotype plasticity, breeders can predict the performance of hybrid combinations, thereby enhancing the efficiency and stability of hybrid rice production (Abd El-Aty et al 2022 ).…”

“…It is the most significant constraint for rice production in rainfed habitats (Nelson et al, 2014;Pandey and Shukla, 2015;Abd El-Aty et al, 2022b). For instance, it causes considerable crop damage and a yield loss of more than 70% compared with normal conditions (Vaghefi et al, 2011;Abd El-Aty et al, 2022c;Abd El-Aty et al, 2022d).…”

“…In Egypt, the rising population and limited water supply meant that even with increased rice production, the rate of food production lagged behind the demand (Dianga et al, 2020;Abd El-Aty et al, 2022c). Thus, the rice sector's crop production and yield performance in Egypt has been impressive in the last three decades.…”

“…Hybrid rice technology is one of the effective ways to increase rice production leading to self-sufficiency and facing overpopulation in Egypt. With the release of conventional cultivars, rice yield levels have reached a plateau that can be broken with this technique (Abd El-Aty et al, 2022). Commercial hybrids often produced between 15 to 20% more than the most acceptable inbred varieties grown in comparable conditions, which were attributed to "hybrid vigor" or "heterosis" from mating the two parents (El Sayed et al, 2021;Melandri et al, 2021).…”

The superiority of hybrid varieties over inbred varieties in terms of grain output, vigor, panicle weight, number of spikelets per panicle, and number of productive tillers are examples of how hybrids can benefit from heterosis (Abd El-Aty et al, 2022).…”
