A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis
Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Phenomic selection (PS) offers a cost‐effective, breeder‐friendly approach for public breeding programmes with limited access to genotyping or restricted financial resources for laboratory infrastructure. Since PS relies on high‐throughput phenotyping data, which is often derived from near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of harvested seeds ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Doubled haploid technology accelerates the development of fully homozygous maize lines compared with conventional selfing. However, specific protocols for supersweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata), particularly regarding immersion time in antimitotic solutions and temperature during chromosome doubling, remain poorly defined.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a vital cereal crop in dry regions worldwide. However, in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), grain yields from currently grown varieties remain low (< 1 ton/ha) and exhibit variable nutrient composition. Therefore, the objective of this study was to undertake a genetic analysis of selected East African‐adapted ...
