Claim 16:
17. A method of introducing a desired trait into rice cultivar Calhikari-203, wherein the method comprises:
(a) crossing a Calhikari-203 plant, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127600, with a plant of another rice cultivar that comprises a desired trait to produce progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, pest or insect resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism, modified protein content, and resistance to bacterial disease, fungal disease or viral disease;
(b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have the desired trait;
(c) backcrossing the selected progeny plants with the Calhikari-203 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait; and
(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) two or more times to produce selected third or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait.
