A new large-scale sequencing and phenotyping experiment of hybrid rice varieties leads to associations with genetic determinants whose mode of action was revealed. Heterosis, or ‘hybrid vigour’ as it ...
When two homozygous plant lines with different characteristics are crossed, the resulting offspring are often more robust and productive than their parents. This phenomenon is called heterosis. It can ...
Heterosis has long been exploited for crop breeding; however, the genetic mechanisms, particularly the initial establishment of heterosis during the early vegetative growth phase, remain elusive. The ...
Heterosis and its relation to genetic divergence between the parents was explored in a diallel cross among 8 inbred lines of maize (Zea mays L.) selected from an array of 32 inbreds, derived from 4 ...
A research team at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) has developed a new method that improves our understanding of why crosses between homozygous parent plants - ...

Heterosis in crops explained through complex gene interaction analysis
When two homozygous plant lines with different characteristics are crossed, the resulting offspring are often more robust and ...
When a movie star is billed as having “it” or “oomph,” what she probably has is heterosis (hybrid vigor). At least, that is what Geneticist George D. Snell says. In the current Quarterly Review of ...
Scientists have established a system to generate clonal sex cells in tomato plants and used them to design the genomes of offspring. The fertilization of a clonal egg from one parent by a clonal sperm ...
