Development of Component Lines utilizing Diversed Cytosources of Rice

Bangladesh lacking hybrid rice variety although cytoplasmic male sterile genes and fertility genes have abundance in the local germplasm. Millions of people suffering from hungers and almost cent percent people taking rice twice in a day. I'd a thinking from my childhood if I would contribute for my hunger people. A series of experiments (12) and years (5) I've spent for this work. I think this is nothing but might be a guide line for the future young breeders and geneticist if someone like to work development of male sterile genes or development of fertility restoration genes or development of Component Lines. The result that I obtained from heterosis part really inspired me as well as in combining ability part. Thanks to all!
