Two-line breeding in exploitation of thermo-sensitive genic male sterile system is pursued with the objective ofdevelopment of hybrids with high heterotic potential. A total of 66 new TGMS lines were developed and screenedunder sterility favoring environment for tgms gene expression during summer and sterility limiting environment duringwinter at Paddy Breeding Station, Coimbatore for the past five years. Out of 66 TGMS lines, 15 lines showed stableperformance and seven TGMS lines viz., COTGMS 02, COTGMS 07, COTGMS 10, COTGMS 11, COTGMS 12,COTGMS 13 and COTGMS 15 were completely pollen sterile throughout the summer period. These lines had widersterility expression period with very good floral traits viz., higher pollen sterility per cent, panicle and stigma exsertionper cent, wider glume opening favorable for enhanced out-crossing rate and seed set percentage during seed production.
