(a) Left, names of wild-type and TGMS lines. Right, alignment of 75 base-pair DNA sequence of the coding region of TMS5 in wild-type and different TGMS lines. Nucleotide numbers within the TMS5-coding sequence are shown at the top. The mutated nucleotide at position 71 (arrowed) in tms5 lines is shown in red. (b) Number of different two-line hybrid rice cultivars bred using tms5-TGMS lines (tms5-hybrid) compared with other two-line hybrid rice cultivars grown in China in 2011 (left figure). Proportions of the two-line hybrid rice-growing area (B3.4 million hectares) planted with tms5-hybrid cultivars and other hybrid cultivars bred with others and non-sequenced T/PGMS lines in China in 2011 (right figure). (c) Proportions of the two-line hybrid rice-growing area (~3.4 million hectares) planted with tms5-hybrid cultivars and other hybrid cultivars bred with others and non-sequenced T/PGMS lines in China in 2011.
