The plant has more vigorous tillering ability. Its plant height of 95 cm was a bit shorter than that of the normal ones. The plant type, the leaf shape and the color of leaf sheath and glume tip of this mutant were identieal to that of the normal plant whereas the color of arrowhead-shape anther was milky white. This mutant set no seed during self-pollination. When it was crossed with IR24. IR26, Minhui 63 or Xieqing-zaoxuian. the Ffertilities were normal. The fertility of this mutant could be restored by IR24, IR26 and Minhui 63 and maintained by Xieqing-zaoxian. Maxie A was developed in 1987 by the successive backcrossing of the mutant with Xieqing-zaoxian. The percentage of abortive pollen in Maxie A in uninucleate microspore to early binucleate microspore stage is展开更多

The results showed that dominance effects were predominant for TN. The expression of those additive effects were affected by environment and genotype interaction, but the expression of dominance effects were not affected. Heterosis was the strongest in the middle developmental periods of TN. Additive effects and dominance effects were selectively expressed throughout in the entire tillering developmental stage. Analysis of genetic correlation between TN at different stages and the productive panicles indicated that a close correlation appeared earlier in the populations with higher heterosis than in those with less heterosis. Utilization of heterosis at the middle tillering stage might enhance the final biomass but reduce the percentage of productive panicles.展开更多
