| Rice breeding is the traditional strength of Yulin Institute of Agricultural Sciences. Two photo-sensitive rice varieties (Baotai,ai and Baoxuan 2) were bred and have been widely planted in south China in 1960s-1970s. Especially since the "tenth five-year plan", this institute have been focusing more on the breeding methods of systematic breeding, sexual hybridization and space mutation, etc. As the result,15 rice varieties, which had obvious improvement in yield, resistance and grain quality, were bred by the institute and registered by Guangxi Committee for Crop Variety Registration. This paper analyzed the existing problems in high-quality rice breeding and discussed about the future prospects for breeding high-quality rice variety, with years of experience in the work of rice breeding. |
