The performances and relationships between the characters and generations of the rice shuttle breeding materials were studied. The efficiency of the rice shuttle breeding method has been clarified, When the breeding lines were grown at CNRRI, they generally had longer growth duration, with greater plant height and less panicles per plant. The correlation coefficients of the characters for a generation and the next generation were highly significant. For this result, it was concluded that the selection for characters especially for amylose content, 100-grain weight, plant height, growth duration and resistance to planthopper was effective under two distinct environments, Hangzhou, China and Los Banos, Philippines. The grain weight could be increased indirectly by selecting on filled grains per panicle and effective panicles per plant. Furthermore, attention should be paid to selecting larger panicles or the higher panicle weight with the larger number of panicles per plant.
