A highly asymmetric and fertile somatic hybrid plant was obtained via protoplast fusion in an
intergenric combination. Gamma-ray-irradiated Zizania latifolia (Griseb). Turcz. ex Stapf …

Rice is staple food in many countries of Africa and a major part of the diet in many others.
However, Africa's demand for rice exceeds production with the deficit of 40% being …

The current level of heterosis (15-20% or 0.75-1.0 t ha-1) in indica rice hybrids developed for
the tropics is economically viable, but a higher level would be more attractive. Studies at …

The discovery of wide-compatibility varieties (WCVs) that are able to produce normal fertility
hybrids when crossed both to indica and japonica rice has enabled the fertility barrier …

Interspecific hybridization plays an important role in rice breeding by broadening access to
desirable traits such as disease resistance and improving yields. However, interspecific …
