Derived from an intermating population developed from 55 crosses, by multiple-parent crossing and intermating among hybrids and progenies, with the aid of a dominant gene Ta1 (ms2), followed by mass selection of male-sterile plants. The parentage of the 55 crosses included five local agronomically superior cultivars (Yangmai 4, Ningmai 3, Zhemai 1, Qianjiang 1 and Wanjian 7909) and 11 Fusarium head blight resistant cultivars (Sumai 3, Ning 7840, Emai 9, Wangshuibai, Fanshanxiaomai, Wenzhouhongheshang, Zhen 7495, Jinzhou 1, Xiangmai 1, Nobeokabouzu-Komugi and Shinchunaga).
