Intersubspecific hybrid rice;Chunyou 84;High yield;Breeding

I n recent years,it has already been proved by practice that an efficient path to guarantee increasingly rice yield in China is the utilization of the strong hybrid vigour of indica-japonica intersubspecific hybrid rice,however,in the present popularization and application of indica-japonica intersubspecific hybrid rice,there have been many problems,such as low seed production,poor grain plumpness in the later stage,etc[1-5].Therefore,actively demonstrating and popularizing indica-japonica intersubspecific hybrid rice combination with high seed production,strong hybrid vigour and good colouring in the later grain filling stage meets the current market requirement of rice production,which has important significance for further promoting rice production and guaranteeing food security in China.Chunyou 84,an indica-japonica hybrid rice combination with super high yield bred by China National Rice Research Institute and Zhejiang Nongke Seed Industry Co.,Ltd.,developed from Chunjiang 16A which is a late japonica CMS line with early anthesis time and C84 which is an indica-japonica intermediate type restorer line with wide compatibility.It has the characteristics of high yield and high yield-increasing potential,high seed production,excellent agronomic characters,good resistance and wide adaptability.It was registered and released by Zhejiang Provincial Crop Variety Appraisal Committee in March,2013.It is a promising new indica-japonica intermediate combination.

Breeding Process

Chunjiang 16A,developed by crossing cytoplasmic sterile line Ning 67A which is a Dian-type japonica rice CMS line with male parent Chunjiang 16 which is a dwarf early-ripening ma-

Main Characteristics

Yield performance

Chunyou 84 was one of the regional trial varieties of Zhejiang single late japonica rice in 2010,its average yield was 10.05 t/hm2,which increased by 19.8%compared with Jiayou No.2, thus reaching extremely significant level,and ranking the first,the yieldincreasing point rate was 100%;in 2011,it was also one of the regional trial varieties of Zhejiang single late japonica rice,its average yield was 10.53 t/hm2,which increased by 26.1% compared with Jiayou No.2(CK),also reaching extremely significant level, and ranking the second,the yield-increasing point rate was 100%.In 2012,Chunyou 84 was one of the production testing varieties of Zhejiang single late japonica rice,its average yield was 9.87 t/hm2,which increased by 13.0%compared with CK.In the trial planting,Chunyou 84 showed the characteristics of high yield,fertilizer tolerance and lodging resistance and great yield-increasing potential,generally the yield of single cropping late rice was 9.75-10.50 t/hm2,and parcels of high rice field can reach above 11.25 t/hm2.

Main agronomic traits

Chunyou 84 has strong photonasty,it was cultivated as single cropping late rice in Zhejiang Province, its growth period was 156.7 d.Chunyou 84 has the characteristics of short and strong plants at the seedling stage,better seedling flexibility,being not easy to be bad after transplanting, turning green quickly,medium tillering ability,vigorous vegetative growth, luxuriant growth,thick and strong stalk,moderate height,compact plant type,strong lodging-resistance capability,concentrated heading,dark green leaf,tall and straight stem leaf, good form for light interception,strong cold endurance at the later period and good colouring.From the regional trial data of Zhejiang single late japonica rice during 2010-2011(Table 1),it was shown that the plant height of Chunyou 84 was 120.0 cm,the panicle length was 18.7 cm,the number of effective panicles was 210.0×104/hm2, total grains of each panicle were 244.9,theseed setting percentage was 83.6%and 1 000-seed weight was 25.2 g.

Indica-japonica characteristics

The female parent and male par-ent of Chunyou 84 were Chunjiang 16A and C84,respectively;based on the determination using Chen’s index, it showed that the Chen’s index of Chunjiang 16A was 19,belonged to japonica type,and that of C84 was 15, and it was japonica-cline type,indicating that C84 was not typical japonica restorer line,but indica-japonica intermediate type restorer line[7],therefore, Chunyou 84 was an indica-japonica (japonica-cline type)hybrid rice combination.

Table 1The main agronomic traits of Chunyou 84

Quality characters

According to the detection results of Rice and Its Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center,Ministry of Agriculture of the People’s Republic of China during 2010-2011, Chunyou 84 had 82.2%brown rice rate,73.0%milled rice rate,65.9% head rice rate,5.6 mm grain length, 2.0 length-width ratio,71%chalkiness grain rate,11.3%chalkiness ratio,3-grade transparency,5.7-grade alkali spreading value,80 mm gel consistency,16.8%amylose content and 10.0%protein content.

Resistance

Based on the resistance identification results of Institute of Plant Protection and Microbiology,Zhejiang A-cademy of Agricultural Sciences during 2010-2011,Chunyou 84 had 0.3-grade leaf blast,1.0%spike blast loss ratio,1.7 comprehensive index of rice blast,6.0-grade bacterial blight,9-grade brown rice planthopper and 1.0-grade rice stipe virus.By comprehensive assessment,Chunyou 84 had moderate resistance in rice blast,and good resistance in bacterial blight, brown rice planthopper and rice stipe virus.

Suitable planting areas

After many years of planting experimentally,it preliminarily showed that Chunyou 84 had wide application range,it was mainly suitable to plant as single cropping rice or continuous cropping late rice in the middle and lower reaches of Changjiang River, such as Zhejiang,Anhui,Hubei,etc., and as single-season rice or continuous cropping late rice in Jiangxi,Hu’nan,Fujian,etc.

Yield of hybrid seed production

As the female parent of Chunyou 84,Chunjiang 16A is a late japonica CMS line with early anthesis time,and as the male parent of Chunyou 84, C84 is an indica-japonica intermediate type restorer line with wide compatibility,and its flowering time is obviously later than common indica type rice restorer line,the flowering time difference is obviously shorter than common inter-subspecific hybrid rice, moreover,C84 has large spike shape, adequate pollen quantity and good pollen quality,so the yield of seed production of Chunyou 84 is high.In 2012,Zhejiang Nongke Seed Industry Co.,Ltd.produced 33.3 hm2hybrid seeds in Nanxun District of Huzhou City in Zhejiang Province and Fengxian District of Shanghai,its average yield reached 2.25 t/hm2.

Main Points of Cultivation Techniques

Sowing timely

Chunyou 84 can be sowed as single cropping late rice in Zhejiang Province from middle and late May to early June.The seeding quantity for raising rice seedlings can be among 90.0-120.0 kg/hm2,and the sowing quantity for field planting can be among 9.0-12.0 kg/hm2,dry land and wet land for seedlings are both suitable,adequate fertilizer and sparse seeding are required for strong seedlings with tillers,the seedling age must be about 25 d;for mechanical transplanting rice, the sowing quantity can be 18.0 kg/ hm2,the seedling age can be among 18-20 d;for direct-seeding cultivation, the sowing quantity should be among 18.8-22.5 kg/hm2.

Rational close planting

Chunyou 84 has moderate tillering ability,many kernels per spike and high setting percentage,the number of effective spikes is a key factor for high yield of Chunyou 84.To increase the number of effective spikes,manual transplanting should be carried out for single cropping late rice,the planting distance of field planting can be 20.0 cm×26.7 cm,1-2 plants for each cluster;the planting distance of machine transplanting of rice can be 30.0 cm× 21.0 cm,1-2 plants for each cluster.

Nutrient and water management

Chunyou 84 needs more fertilizer and has high fertilizer tolerance and lodging resistance,generally,the land with middle fertility needs about 210 kg/hm2pure nitrogen.The fertilizing methods are:base fertilizer should be applied heavily,organic fertilizer accounts for the largest,appropriate phosphorus-potassium fertilizer is also required,tillering fertilizer should be applied early,fertilization for head sprouting should be applied in the later period,N:P:K must be 1:0.5:1.The irrigation should follow shallow water,in the later stage,moistening irrigation is dominant and it is also mixed with the alternation of wetting and drying,water cut-off can not be too early.

Pest control

Before sowing,the seed should be treated with medicament to prevent bakanae disease;during rice seedling stage,rice thrips should be paid attention to preventing;during prime field period,some plant diseases and insect pests like snout moth’s larva, aphid,brown rice planthopper,false smut and banded sclerotial blight should be paid attention to preventing.

Main Points of Seed Production Techniques

Choosing seed production field

The spatial isolation of the field for seed production must be more than 100 m,and the time isolation must be more than 20 d.

Timely and sparsely sowing for cultivating strong seedlings with tillers

According to the characteristics and features of the parents and the climatic features of Zhejiang,the male parent of the second stage should be made for hybrid seed production,the male parent C84 of the first stage should be sowed on May 30 and that of the second stage should be sowed on June 7;the female parent Chunjiang 16A should be sowed on June 1; all these are to ensure the flower synchronization of the parents.The sowing quantity of female parent for field planting should be among 22.5-30.0 kg/hm2,and that of male parent should be among 4.5-6.0 kg/hm2;nutrient and water management during the seedling stage must be strengthened, and rice seedlings for transplanting must be 1-2 tillers.

Transplanting in the suitable period and rationally arranging row ratio

The seedling age should be about 25 d when transplanting,multiple plants of male parent should be planted in double rows,and female parent should also be planted with multiple plants,the row ratio of male parent to female parent should be 2∶10 and the planting space should be 16.7 cm× 18.3 cm.

Rationally applying fertilizer,scientifically managing water,and doing well in disease and insect control

To ensure the vigorous growth of female parent,base fertilizer shoudl be applied adequately;to prompt male parent become large panicle,topdressing should be applied early and appropriate phosphorus and potassium fertilizer must also be used together;for water management,there should be deepwater in the period of seedling establishment and shallow water in the tillering stage,and the rules of the alternation of wetting and drying,watering for booting,pellicular water for flowering and flowing water for raising rice should be followed; meanwhile,the pest control should be paid attention to,such as snout moth's larva,banded sclerotial blight,brown rice planthopper,etc.

Artificial supplementary pollination, and applying GA3 timely and appropriately

Generally,the dosage of GA3 is 90-120 g/hm2,and it should be applied twice,the first time is at the 10% heading stage of the parents and the dosage is 45-75 g/hm2,1-2 days after that,the second dosage should be 45 g/hm2.At the same time,at the rupturing stage of female parent,50%flag leaves should be cut out;at the peak flowering stage,artificial supplementary pollination should be done well.

Roguing strictly and harvesting timely

To prevent out-crossing,the isolation work must be done strictly;at the seedling stage and field stage,detaselling work must also be done strictly;before initial heading stage, unusual plants should be removed completely;after artificial?pollination, the male parent must be cut out timely, and the plants should be harvested at the right time to prevent mechanical mixing,thereby ensuring the purity and quality of seeds.
