Four rainfed upland experiments were conducted in Benin to assess yield differences in 65 rice varieties, including the interspecific hybrids: the upland New Rice for Africa (NERICA) varieties developed from crossing Oryza sativa L. and O. glaberrima Steud.. The mean grain yields ranged from 32 to 350 g/m2 across experiments. The genotype × environment (G×E) interaction accounted for 15% of the total sum of squares, with environment and genotype responsible for 74 and 12%, respectively. Upland indica B6144F-MR-6-0-0 performed well in three out of four environments, showing consistently higher yields than other upland NERICA varieties and their parents. Upland indica Aus257 was stable across environments with good adaption to poor soil fertility. None of the upland NERICA varieties showed consistently higher yields than their parents across the four environments. The group of long-duration varieties (e.g. IR 8, IR 24, Taichung Native1) performed well only in most-favorable environments. The high-yielding varieties B6144F-MR-6-0-0 and Aus257 were intermediate in panicle number (160–180 panicles/m2 on average). This was the only common characteristic among the highest yielding varieties. These results suggest that further increases in rice yields in the rainfed uplands of West Africa are most likely to occur through using upland indica varieties as donors.

A total of 18 rainfed upland New Rice for Africa (NERICA) varieties were categorized as the heavy panicle and low tillering types and early heading, in compared with 32 different varieties. These chromosome components were clarified using 243 SSR markers which showed polymorphism among NERICA varieties and their parents, CG 14 (O. glaberrima Steud.) and one of the recurrent parents, WAB-56-104 (O. sativa L.). NERICA varieties were classified into three groups, which corresponded with these parents’ continuation including two exceptions, NERICAs 14 and 17, by a cluster analysis using polymorphism data of SSR markers and 14 differential markers among them were selected to classify NERICA varieties. However, three groups: NERICAs, 3 and 4, NERICAs, 8, 9 and 11 and NERICAs, 15 and 16 were not distinguishable. Association analysis was carried out for characterization of NERICA varieties by using SSR markers genotype and phenotype of agronomic traits. A total of 131 quantitative trait loci between SSR markers and 11 agronomic traits were detected. The characteristics of early maturity and heavy panicle of upland NERICA varieties were succeeded from Asian rice varieties and the characteristics of high dry matter production and late heading were introduced from CG 14 and the other varieties.
