Heterosis is a common biological phenomenon in nature. It substantially contributes to the
biomass yield and grain yield of plants. Moreover, this phenomenon results in high …

Background Heterosis is a phenomenon that hybrids show superior performance over their
parents. The successful utilization of heterosis has greatly improved rice productivity, but the …

Complete panicle exsertion (CPE) in rice is an important determinant of yield and a
desirable trait in breeding. However, the genetic basis of CPE in rice still remains to be …

Flash flooding (FF) along with bacterial blight (BB) outbreak are very destructive for rice
production in the rainfed shallow-lowland (RSL) ecosystem. The presence of dynamic Xoo …

Despite heterosis contributing to genetic improvements in crops, root growth heterosis in
rapeseed plants is poorly understood at the molecular level. The current study was …

Background Heterosis breeding is one of the most important breeding methods for
chrysanthemum. To date, the genetic mechanisms of heterosis for waterlogging tolerance in …

Background Heterosis is an important biological phenomenon that has been extensively
utilized in agricultural breeding. However, negative heterosis is also pervasively observed in …

Grain filling is a pivotal grain weight determinant factor and has a great impact on rice yield
potential. High grain weight was attributed to a high grain-filling rate. Proteomic analysis …

The photosynthetic capacity of flag leaf plays a key role in grain yield in rice. Nevertheless,
there are few studies on the heterosis of the rice flag leaf. Therefore, this study focuses on …

Background Heterosis has been exploited for decades in different crops due to resulting in
dramatic increases in yield, but relatively little molecular evidence on this topic was reported …
