    Abstract:
    It has been a long haul but photoperiod- and thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (PTGMS) rice has not been freely used in hybrid rice production because there are two perplexing problems corresponding to the critical sterility temperature point (CSTP): the uncertainty of the CSTP segregating pattern and the instability of CSTP for every originally useful line. N5088S, the most widely commercialized japonica-type PTGMS line in China, also saw that its CSTP variants have been isolated but with all other agronomic characteristics unchanged. In this report we analyzed the genetic basis of CSTP, by employing the iterated expectation and conditional maximization (IECM) algorithm on four tiller-splitting-formed sets of seven generations from N5088S and its CSTP-variant H5088S, each set treated with one temperature regime. The main results indicated that there are two dominant major genes and polygene, as well as their respective epistasis conditioning the CSTP in the 23.5 degrees C regime. Based on the results obtained, the strategy for breeding of PTGMS lines with stable low CSTP was outlined.
