Abstract
A new rice variety, Huayu 15, was bred by anther culture, and yielded 8–11 t/ha in the Yan Shan area in China (Liang and Huang 1982, 1986, 1988). This new variety was obtained from a pollen-derived haploid plantlet by use of anther of Ft (Fengjin A × C57) through the process of in vitro culture, chromosome doubling, line selection, comparative tests, and the Joint Regional Test. Huayu 15 shows heterosis specific for a rice hybrid. It has the traits of good yielding, stable inheritable character, desirable plant stature, uniform population, resistance to lodging and diseases, and good quality. It yielded remarkably more than the local varieties.
