Heterosis [PDF]

Plant Cell, 2010
Heterosis refers to the phenomenon that progeny of diverse varieties of a species or crosses between species exhibit greater biomass, speed of development, and fertility than both parents. Various models have been posited to explain heterosis, including dominance, overdominance, and pseudo-overdominance.

Genome-wide association and genomic prediction for resistance to southern corn rust in DH and testcross populations

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Southern corn rust (SCR), caused by Puccinia polysora Underw, is a destructive disease that can severely reduce grain yield in maize (Zea mays L.). Owing to P. polysora being multi-racial, it is very important to explore more resistance genes and develop

Large-scale genomic and transcriptomic profiles of rice hybrids reveal a core mechanism underlying heterosis

Genome Biology, 2022
Background Heterosis is widely used in agriculture. However, its molecular mechanisms are still unclear in plants. Here, we develop, sequence, and record the phenotypes of 418 hybrids from crosses between two testers and 265 rice varieties from a mini ...

Brassica napus Transcription Factor Bna.A07.WRKY70 Negatively Regulates Leaf Senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plants, 2023
Leaf senescence is the final stage of leaf development and is essential for storage properties and crop productivity. WRKY transcription factors have been revealed to play crucial roles in several biological processes during plant growth and development,

Transcriptomics reveals a core transcriptional network of K-type cytoplasmic male sterility microspore abortion in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) plays a crucial role in hybrid production. K-type CMS, a cytoplasmic male sterile line of wheat with the cytoplasms of Aegilops kotschyi, is widely used due to its excellent characteristics of agronomic ...

Dispersed emergence and protracted domestication of polyploid wheat uncovered by mosaic ancestral haploblock inference

Nature Communications, 2022
The contribution of ancient haplotypes to domestication is largely unknown. Here, the authors develop an ancestral genomic haploblock dissection method to generate a mosaic pan-ancestry genomic map and reveal that the domesticated polyploidy wheat ...

Dissection of two QTL clusters underlying yield-related heterosis in the cabbage founder parent 01–20

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2023
Cabbage has significant heterosis and most commercial cultivars are hybrids. To explore genetic basis of cabbage heterosis and promote cabbage heterosis utilization, we constructed two populations by crossing 100 DH lines derived from a cabbage hybrid 01–
