Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, refers to the phenomenon that progeny of diverse inbred varieties
exhibit greater biomass, speed of development, and fertility than the better of the two parents …

In this review, we discuss the recent research on allelic variation in maize and possible
implications of this work toward our understanding of heterosis. Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, is …

Classical studies in genetics involving aneuploidy and ploidy comparisons and sex-
determination mechanisms indicated a balance phenomenon such that changes of …

Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, has been widely exploited in plant breeding for many decades,
but the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenomenon remain unknown. In this study …

The molecular basis of hybrid vigor (heterosis) has remained unknown despite the
importance of this phenomenon in evolution and in practical breeding programs. To …

Under low-input cropping systems, nitrogen (N) can be a limiting factor in plant growth and
yield. Identifying genotypes that are more efficient at capturing limited N resources and the …

Heterosis is broadly defined as the increased vigour of hybrids in comparison to their
parents. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, a significant heterosis effect on leaf …

Since Shull's original description of heterosis, breeders have made wide use of this
phenomenon. However, while agronomists have been utilizing heterosis as a means of …

To better understand the development of wheat roots, a reference map of the major soluble
proteins of wheat roots was established using a combination of 2‐DE and MALDI TOF MS …
