Plants heterosis

, 2020
The phenomenon of heterosis was first described by Darwin as having a positive effect on plant traits, as displayed by cross-fertilized over self-fertilized progenies in the vegetable kingdom.

Impact of nonadditive genetic effects in the estimation of breeding values for fertility and correlated traits [PDF]

, 2005
The effects of inbreeding, heterosis, recombination loss, and percentage Holstein on the estimation of predicted transmitting abilities for fertility traits (calving interval, number of days from calving to first insemination, nonreturn rate, number of ...

Translational regulation plasticity shapes wheat grain adaptation to heat stress

Genome Biology
Background Extremely high temperatures due to global warming are increasingly threatening crop production, and plants have evolved highly sophisticated mechanisms to respond to harsh environmental stresses and survive.

Additive and Partially Dominant Effects from Genomic Variation Contribute to Rice Heterosis

Advanced Science
Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, describes the superior performance of F1 hybrids relative to their parents. Despite its significant importance in crop breeding, the molecular mechanisms underlying heterosis remain debated, mainly attributable to ...

Mapping of powdery mildew resistance genes transferred to common wheat from wild emmer wheat revealed three functional Pm60 haplotypes

Crop Journal
Powdery mildew (PM), caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the destructive wheat diseases worldwide. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides, WEW), a tetraploid progenitor of common wheat, is a valuable genetic resource

Quantitative Genetics of Heterosis [PDF]

, 1999
Nearly 50 years have elapsed since the seminal heterosis conference was held at Iowa State College (Gowen, 1952). That conference undoubtedly grew out of the obvious importance of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids in the agricultural economy of Iowa and the ...

DIVERGENCIA GENÉTICA Y HETEROSIS

, 2003
El análisis de la divergencia genética de la población base de un programa de mejoramiento, permite establecer progenitores o genotipos contrastantes, los cuales pueden dar lugar a combinaciones hibridas, descendientes con alto vigor híbrido o individuos

The Interaction Between Abiotic and Biotic Soil Factors Modulates Heterosis Expression in Maize

Phytobiomes Journal
Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, refers to the phenotypic superiority of hybrids relative to their parental inbred lines. Recent work showed that manipulation of the soil microbial community consistently altered heterosis, but the direction of the effect was ...
