Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world.
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), a maternally inherited trait failing to produce
functional pollen, is a useful for production of hybrid seeds in crops. In rice (Oryza
sativa L.), several types of CMS lines were defined by different sources of sterile
cytoplasm with distinct genetic features have been identified. CMS-WA/Rf, have
been widely used for hybrid rice seed production using the three-line (CMS,
maintainer and restorer) technology. Hybrid rice varieties usually increase yields by
about 20%.
