Development and Utility of Storable Indica Restorer Line, Fuhui 7185

A new variety of indica hybrid rice restoring line, Fuhui 7185, was developed by crossing and successive back-crossing with systemic selection between the strong restoring line, Fuhui 653, and a storable variety, Yunhui 290.The obtained Fuhui 7185 had desirable leaf morphology, agronomic traits, combining ability, resilience and storability that would enjoy high value and commercial potential on the market.Under microscope, the testas of Fuhui 7185 showed fewer trichomes than those of control.And, the structure of starch granules remained relatively unaltered after artificial aging for 20 d, suggesting a high storability for the newly developed hybrid rice.
