HYBRID RICE PROJECT

Work started in 2011 under NCST funding.

In 2012, we approached NIB which agreed to support the project
financially.

Project is being conducted in four phases
Phase one: Adaptability of breeding rice lines in Kenya at KARI
Mwea (In green house and natural conditions):-Done
Phase Two: Breeding. Hybridization between Basmatis (370 and 217
) as paternal parents and PGMS and TGMS rice lines
(Obtained from IRRI):- On going.
Phase Three: Natural sterility induction in Mombasa; On going.
Phase 4: Production of hybrid rice in Bunyala and Mwea.

1.1 Background : Rice production in Kenya

Over 300 tonnes of rice is consumed in Kenya.

About 100 tones is locally produced.

In Kenya rice is mainly grown in Mwea, Ahero, Bunyala, West
Kano, Yala Swamp (MoA, 2011).

About 98% of Mwea rice is Basmati.

By year 2030 Kenya population is expected to be 60.0million.

Rice yield is expected to increase 600% to feed the population.

Global Concerns

High yielding varieties (HYV) dwarf rice varieties
have reached breeding plateau hence global
yield.

Green revolution technology now need reinnovation.

Low yield per hectare of Basmati rice (4.1ha)
(Ministry of Agriculture, 2010).

Rice consumption is far above production.

Rice diseases like blast continue to reduce
yields (Wanjogu and Mugambi, 2001).

Hybridization has been used to increase rice
yield per hectare (Zhang, 2010).

High yield is due to heterosis or hybrid vigour.
1.5 Measuring heterosis?
Mid-Parent (MP) heterosis
F1-MP X100
(F1 performs better than mean of two parents): MP
Better Parent (BP) heterosis
(F1 performs better than better parent):
F1-BP X100
BP
Standard heterosis
(F1 performs better than the check variety):
F1-CK X100
CK

To make a cross Male and female parents are
needed.

a) Female need to have non-viable male
gametes so that they can be crossed with
another variety.

b) Male parent: need to have viable pollen.

Hybrid plant
emasculation is done to induce male sterility, a
condition in which the pollen grains are not viable to
fertilize normally to set seeds.
 Male
Methods of male emasculation
a) Environmental Genic Male sterility method (EGMS)
‣ PGMS – photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile lines.
Uses long daylight length to induce sterility
‣
TGMS - thermosentive genic male sterile lines Uses high
temperature to induce sterility
b) Cytoplasmic genetic male sterility (CMS)
Male sterility is controlled by the interaction of a
genetic factor (S) present in the cytoplasm and
nuclear gene (s).
c) Chemically induced male sterility
Male sterility is induced by some chemicals
(gametocides).

Model of Sterility / Fertility Expression for TGMS Rice
Use hybrid rice technology to raise yield
i)
Introduce EGMS in Kenya and test for
their adaptability.
ii) Develop Basmati with EGMS gene.
iii) Produce hybrids by crossing EGMS-Basmati
with conventional Basmati.
EGMS included; PGMS and TGMS LINES FROM
IRRI.
