Abstract

Hybrid wheat development is an attractive approach for enhancing productivity of wheat. For an efficienthybrid development programme through CMS approach, a stable CMS line, its suitable maintainer line andrestorer lines for high pollen and spikelet fertility is needed. An experiment was conducted to identify suitablemaintainer and restorer line among 13 high yielding wheat genotype based on spikelet and pollen fertility in thehybrid combinations using 10 CMS lines. Range of complete sterility to complete fertility was observed among130 hybrid combinations. All the genotypes DBW 17, GW 273, GW 322, GW 366, HI 1531, HI 1544, JW 3020, JW3173, JW 3211, JW 3269, Lok 1, PBW 343 and WH 147 were good fertility restorers for either of the CMS lines.On the other hand, only seven genotypes, HI 1531, JW 3020, JW 3211, JW 3269, PBW 343, GW 366 and GW 273were identified as maintainers for any of the six CMS lines, namely JWH 4, JWH 8, JWH 14, JWH 16, JWH 17and JWH 20. Other wheat genotypes were not able to maintain male sterility in the CMS lines.
