Abstract
1) To ascertain the sexual affinity of the new lines obtained from the japonica-indica intersubspecific hybrid of rice, 27 strains corresponding to Fll and F12 were crossed to their original parents. 2) 133 F1 plants from 17 strains crossed to japonica parent and 172 F1 plants from 23 strains to indica parent were grown, and the seed fertility of each F1 plant was determined for three strong panicles. The results were tabulated in table 1, as the values of max. min. and mean seed fertility with their variances and grain shape index. 3) Sexual affinitie, s of those newly tested lines were r6ughly grouped into two ; one group, having 26 lines, showed strong affinity to japonica type parent and weaker afiinity to indica type parent, in the former case the mean seed fertility of F1 was higher than 85%, but in the later case it remained below 45% The other group, represented by only one line, showed on the contrary weak affinity to japonica parent, that is 52% seed fertility, and strong affinity to indica parent namely 87% seed setting. Such relationship is clearly represented in fig. 1 and 2.
