• Progress in ideotype breeding to increase rice yield potential (2008, methodology): “Stimulated by IRRI’s NPT breeding program, China established a nationwide mega project on the development of ‘‘super’’ rice in 1996 (Cheng et al., 1998, 2007), with the following objectives: a.”
• Yield potential and nitrogen use efficiency of China's super rice (2017, background): “the Yangzte River Valley was conceived with the following attributes (Cheng et al. 2007): (1) Medium tillering capacity with 12–15 panicles per plant (2) Plant height of 115–125 cm (3) Droopy panicle with erect, longer and slightly rolling flag leaf (4) Yield of 190–220 grains per panicle (5) Multip”
• Yield potential and radiation use efficiency of “super” hybrid rice grown under subtropical conditions (2009, background): “In 1998–2005, 34 commercially released ‘‘super’’ hybrid rice varieties were grown on a total area of 13.5 million ha and they produced an additional 6.7 million tonnes of rough rice in China (Cheng et al., 2007).”
