DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPLANTED IRRIGATED LOWLAND RICE

VARIETIES WITH YIELD POTENTIAL, RESISTANT TO PESTS AND
GOOD GRAIN QUALITY

Period covered: January 2008 to December 2008

Budget and Funding agency: Php 250,000/Philippine Rice Research Institute

COMPONENT STUDIES

Study 1. Hybridization and parental material development

Objectives:

1. To develop lines with enhanced grain quality to be utilized in hybridization.

2. To generate crosses between lines with improved agronomic traits and

enhanced grain qualities.

populations.

2. To conduct selection in the segregating generations.

COMPONENT STUDIES

Study 3. Performance test of uniform lines

Objectives:

1. To evaluate selected uniform lines from the segregating populations.

2. To conduct preliminary yield trial.

3. To identify promising lines for inclusion in the NCT.

Results

Study 3. Insect and Disease Resistance and Grain Quality Test

• C8456-B-2-1-1-2 and C8511-B-3-3-1-1 showed intermediate reaction to

Blast, bacterial leaf blight, sheath blight

• All entries were susceptible to tungro (induced and modified)

• C8632-B-1-1 and C8555-3-3-1 showed moderately resistant reaction to

BPH, GLH, and yellow stemborer

• C8523-B-3-2-2-2 consistently obtained good milling potentials.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

•Forty-one lines were utilized as parents and a total of twenty-seven F1’s were generated.

•Thirty-one F1 populations evaluated in the F1 ON were all advanced to F2.

•1,750 plants were selected in the segregating populations.

•46 uniform lines were selected and evaluated in the observational nursery.

•74 selections were evaluated in the preliminary yield trial.

• High yielding, resistant, and lines with good eating quality were identified and can be
utilized as parental materials

• No line was channeled to NCT, rainfed trial and ARC’s for participatory rice breeding.
