Abstract
Summary: In hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) breeding, spikelet sterility is a barrier to attaining enhanced heterosis in crosses between different groups or subspecies of rice. Our objective was to identify the hybrid sterility gene loci (HSGLi) in two indica cytoplasmic male sterile A lines ('IR58025A' and 'IR62829A') and their corresponding maintainer B lines ('IR58025B' and 'IR62829B'). To detect the HSGL, three testers, 'IR36' (indica cultivar), 'Dular' (indica wide compatibility variety [WCV]) and 'Nekken 2' (japonica WCV) were crossed to the two groups in the form of IR36/WCV
