A study was undertaken to elicit information on the identification of maintainers and restorers for their utilization in hybridization programme as the parental lines. Hybrid rice is the best practically feasible and readily acceptable options available to increase the production. For the development of viable, adoptable rice hybrids through utilization of cytoplasmic genetic male sterility, the processes of identification of maintainers and restorers involving local elite lines has become inevitable. |
