Abstract: The grain plumpness was genetically analyzed on 25 intersubspecifichybrid rice combinations from 5 japonica sterile lines each crossed with 5 wide-compatible varieties. It was found that the grain plumpness was better on upper spikelet but worse on lower spikelet for a given panicle. The grain plumpness was genetically controlled with major additive effect, and the inheritance ability was over 0.82. Path-analysis further revealed that this grain plumpness was also influenced by other factors, mainly plump grains, 1000-grain weight, seed-setting ratio and fertilized grains.
