and tolerance to stresses. The average yield of hybrid rice is at least 15-20 per cent more than that of inbred rice (Rather et al. 2001) and it has been anticipated that hybrid rice technology will play a key role in ensuring food security worldwide in the future decades (Sabar and Akhter 2003). Encouraged by the success of hybrid rice technology in enhancing rice productivity in China, India is the first country to exploit the hybrid rice technology on a commercial scale (Singh et al. 2013) and till date 102 rice hybrids developed both from public and private sector have been released for general cultivation (Anonymous 2018).
