Abstract
Autotetraploid rice, developed through whole genome duplication of diploid rice, offers potential advantages such as larger grains, higher nutrient content, and increased resistance. However, its low fertility has been a significant barrier to its commercial viability. Recent advancements have focused on understanding and overcoming the sterility issues in autotetraploid rice hybrids to harness their heterosis potential. The development of high-fertility tetraploid rice lines and the application of molecular breeding techniques have shown promise in improving hybrid performance. This study synthesizes the genetic mechanisms underlying the low fertility of autotetraploid rice and its F 1 hybrids from both cytological and molecular biological perspectives. It introduces the main types of high-fertility tetraploid rice and the latest research progress. Lastly, the study proposes ideas for future research on exploiting the heterosis of high-fertility autotetraploid rice, aiming to provide insights for polyploid rice breeding.
