沪旱5A是以沪旱1B与川香29B杂交,在F₄代选择优良单株与沪旱1A测交并经多代回交转育而成的节水抗旱细胞质雄性不育系,于2013年通过上海市农作物品种审定委员会鉴定。沪旱5A保持了沪旱1A抗旱性好、米质优良的特点,柱头外露率、异交结实率显著提高,与旱恢49、旱恢840配制的组合沪优549、旱优540于2019年分别通过湖北省和上海市品种审定。

Huhan 5A is a water-saving and drought-resistance cytoplasmic male sterile line, developed from the continuing backcrossing between Huhan 1A and the selected excellent single plant in F₄ generantion of Huhan1B crossed with chuanxiang 29B, and identified by Shanghai Crop Variety Approval Committee in 2013.
