MITOCHONDRIAL HETEROSIS IN MAIZE [PDF]

Genetics, 1968
MANY hybrids between genetic pure lines in maize exhibit heterosis. The search for the genetic basis of heterosis has been carried on for many years and by many workers. Despite these efforts, an adequate, specific biochemical explanation of heterosis has not been presented.

Dependence of the Heterosis Effect on Genetic Distance, Determined using Various Molecular Markers

Open Life Sciences, 2020
A number of studies have shown that the greater the genetic diversity of parental lines, the greater the heterosis effect. Genetic or phenotypic variation can be estimated by genotype testing on the basis of the observations obtained through prediction ...

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Tagging large CNV blocks in wheat boosts digitalization of germplasm resources by ultra-low-coverage sequencing

Genome Biology
Background The massive structural variations and frequent introgression highly contribute to the genetic diversity of wheat, while the huge and complex genome of polyploid wheat hinders efficient genotyping of abundant varieties towards accurate ...

OsLG3 contributing to rice grain length and yield was mined by Ho-LAMap

BMC Biology, 2017
Background Most agronomic traits in rice are complex and polygenic. The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for grain length is an important objective of rice genetic research and breeding programs.

AFLP Fingerprinting and Genetic Diversity of Main Sweetpotato Varieties in China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012
AFLP fingerprinting of the 98 main sweetpotato varieties planted in China has been constructed. Using 17 AFLP primer combinations which were selected from 1 208 primer combinations and generated the most amounts of polymorphic bands, AFLP analysis of the

Heterosis and inbreeding depression for yield and its components traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare)

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Heterosis and inbreeding depression was analysed using a set of diallel crosses involving 10 diverse parents (excluding reciprocals). Heterosis over standard parent for grain yield per plant ranged from -9.65–45.45 (%) and -14.78–12.05 (%) under normal ...

Recent research on the mechanism of heterosis is important for crop and vegetable breeding systems

Breeding Science, 2018
Heterosis or hybrid vigor is a phenomenon where hybrid progeny have superior performance compared to their parental inbred lines. This is important in the use of F1 hybrid cultivars in many crops and vegetables.

Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) Cage Aquaculture in Africa: Potential Threats to Congeneric Fish Species and Advances to Detect Escapes

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Cage fish farming, a recent development in aquaculture, has enhanced fisheries production due to its higher stocking densities than traditional pond and open‐water systems. Although it can enhance production, the system can pose biodiversity threats when there is an unintentional or intentional release of stocked fish into the wild.

An auxin signaling gene BnaA3.IAA7 contributes to improved plant architecture and yield heterosis in rapeseed.

New Phytologist, 2019
Plant architecture is the key factor affecting overall yield in many crops. The genetic basis underlying plant architecture in rapeseed (Brassica napus), a key global oil crop, is elusive.
