ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention to provide a hybrid plant having a high fertility and a method for producing such a hybrid plant. The hybrid plant of the present invention is characterized by having two or more copies of a fertility restorer gene at two or more gene loci which do not have a complete linkage relationship. Further, the method of the present invention comprises introducing a fertility restorer gene by genetic engineering and placing two or more copies of a fertility restorer gene at two or more gene loci which do not have a complete linkage relationship.
