The yield-related gene, WFP increases grain number by increasing the primary branch number per panicle in rice. In the present study, WFP was introgressed from ST-12 to IRBB60, a pyramiding line having the genes Xa4, xa5, xa13 and Xa21 for BLB resistance in the IR24 genetic background. The pyramided lines PL-1, PL-4 and PL-5 that were included in the initial BC2F2 selections based on their improved PBN were selected for further agronomic evaluation and generation advance up to BC2F3. All three lines recorded significantly higher PBN and GN due WFP introgression, although the loss of at least two BLB genes during the breeding process resulted in the variable response of the lines to the different BLB races. Among the lines, only PL-5 showed a significantly higher estimate of actual yield measured in terms of panicle weight per square meter compared to IRBB60. PL-5 also exhibited resistance to five out of the six BLB races used for resistance screening. Despite the negative effects in grain size, the improved yield estimates, as well as the validated BLB resistance of PL-5 makes it a suitable candidate for cultivar adoption under the tropical rice ecosystem of Southeast Asia.
