In order to enhance the foresightedness of the heterosis utilization in two-line hybrid rice subspecies, with 5 dual-purpose genic male sterile lines and 9 recombinant inbred lines with different indica-japonica degrees as materials, the correlation between parental indica-japonica characteristics and heterosis was studied, The results showed that the indica-japonica characteristics identified with the 1st - 2nd ear-node lengths of hybrid F1 showed the correlation between indica-japonica difference and yield heterosis better. The stronger the i...
