Zhong 413 was a wide compatible restorer line selected from 50465. Using Zhong 413 as female parent crossed with indica testers IR36, Nanjing 11 and japonica testers Akihikari, Balilla, the spikelet fertilities of F1 hybrid were 75.5%, 80. 8% and 71.4%, 53.2% respectively. Meanwhile Zhong 413 had strong restoring ability to various CMS lines such as Zhenshan 97A, Xieqingzao A, D-shan A and Maxie A, and the obvious heterosis of these hybrids was shown in rapid growth, large leaf area index, bigger panicles. higher dry matter production, resistance to lodging, as well as over yielding significantly than the recent commercial hybrid rice Shanyou 63 and Shanyou 10 in different regions and seasons. Zhong 413's hybrid combinations not only had superior heterosis but also could overcome the problems such as the lower F1 fertility, insufficiently filled grain, excessive plant height and long growth duration which happened usually in inter-subspecies hybrid rice.
