The invention relates to the technical field of rice breeding, in particular to a breeding method of an ornamental rice variety for
bonsai. The invention discloses a breeding method of ornamental rice varieties for
bonsai. The breeding method comprises the following steps: S1, breeding a dwarf male parent variety PZ-R with green leaves and white stripes and long white
miscanthus; s2, breeding female parent varieties PZ-S of clustered spikelet,
purplish red spikelet and long red
miscanthus; s3, matching and hybridizing to obtain F1-generation seeds F18, planting the F1-generation seeds F18, mixing and harvesting seeds F28 on F18 plants, and taking the seeds F28 as the potted ornamental rice seeds. According to the method, male parents and female parents with various characters are bred separately through a convergent
cross breeding method, dwarf rice is formed through hybridization of the male parents and the female parents, the leaf color,
glume flower cluster growth,
glume flower color and awn character of the rice are combined to form various characters, the effects of leaf watching, flower watching and ear watching are good, and the dwarf rice is suitable for
bonsai appreciation; the ornamental rice seeds can be obtained through first-generation hybridization, the
batch production cost is low, and the production process is fast and convenient.
