Abstract
The development of germplasm resources and advances in breeding methods have led to steady increases in yield and quality of rice(Oryza sativa L.).Three milestones in the recent history of rice breeding have contributed to these increases:dwarf rice breeding,hybrid rice breeding,and super rice breeding.On the 50th anniversary of the success of three-line hybrid rice,we highlight important scientific discoveries in rice breeding that were made by Chinese scientists and summarize the broader history of the field.We discuss the strategies that could be used in the future to optimize rice breeding further in the hope that China will continue to play a leading role in international rice breeding.
