Forty-five hybrids generated by half-diallel with 10 inbreds were evaluated for GY and other agronomic traits at three locations.

Positive and significant association existed between SSR-GD with HP, MPH and BPH for ear length, kernels/row and 100-seed weight (<em>r</em> = 0.31** to 0.41**), this suggests these traits can be predicted from SSR-based GD of parents. These traits could be used for indirect selection for yield improvement.

As a result, female parents lack the genetic diversity carried by R lines. But B × R and R × B mating have great potential to produce high value parental lines of hybrid rice and overcome the limitation of the previous approach.
