ESTIMATION OF THE COMPONENTS OF HETEROSIS [PDF]
In previous papers (JINKS 19544,1956) the analysis of the parents, F,’s, F2’s and I backcross generations of an 8 x 8 diallel between inbred varieties of Nico- tiana rustica using the method of diallel analysis described by JINKS and HAY- MAN (1953), and extended by SINKS (1954), HAYMAN (1954), DICKINSON and JINKS (1956) and JINKS (1956) have ...

The Pitfalls of Heterosis Coefficients [PDF]
Heterosis (hybrid vigour) is a universal phenomenon of crucial agro-economic and evolutionary importance. We show that the most common heterosis coefficients do not properly measure deviation from additivity because they include both a component ...

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.
