Comparative F₂ and F₃ Fertility in Partially Sterile Rice Hybrids

The association of fertility in the F₂ and F₃ of three indica x japonica rice hybrids, having disparate degrees of sterility, was studied in relation to the effectiveness of early selection for fertility. As the results indicated a direct parent-progeny association of fertility among the first three plant generations, it was concluded that early selection for fertility is desirable and effective in wide crosses. Breeding behavior in the F₃ suggested the extreme complexity of intervarietal hybrid sterility.
