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 ...

Heterosis in crop improvement

The Plant Journal, 2023
SUMMARYHeterosis, also known as hybrid vigor, is the phenomenon wherein a progeny exhibits superior traits relative to one or both parents. In terms of crop breeding, this usually refers to the yield advantage of F1 hybrids over both inbred parents. The development of high‐yielding hybrid cultivars across a wider range of crops is key to meeting future

Heterosis in plants [PDF]

Current Biology, 2018
Heterosis, also known as 'hybrid vigor', is a well-known phenomenon whereby hybrid offspring resulting from cross pollination exhibit greater vigor than either parent. Here, Hochholdinger and Baldauf provide an overview of this fascinating biological phenomenon and what is known about the underlying genetics and mechanisms.

Structure and function of rice hybrid genomes reveal genetic basis and optimal performance of heterosis

Nature Genetics, 2023
Resequencing of 2,839 hybrid rice cultivars and 9,839 F_2 individuals from 18 elite crosses is used to characterize the genetics underlying a range of grain yield-related traits, providing insights into heterosis during breeding and a predictive model ...

Heterosis and Hybrid Crop Breeding: A Multidisciplinary Review

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Although hybrid crop varieties are among the most popular agricultural innovations, the rationale for hybrid crop breeding is sometimes misunderstood. Hybrid breeding is slower and more resource-intensive than inbred breeding, but it allows systematic ...

Nonadditive gene expression contributing to heterosis in partially heterozygous maize hybrids is predominantly regulated from heterozygous regions. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Hybrids often perform better than their homozygous parents, a phenomenon that is commonly referred to as heterosis. Heterosis is widely utilized in modern agriculture, although its molecular basis is not very well understood. In this study, we backcrossed an intermated recombinant inbred line population of maize (Zea mays L.) with its parental ...

The genetic mechanism of heterosis utilization in maize improvement

Genome Biology, 2021
In maize hybrid breeding, complementary pools of parental lines with reshuffled genetic variants are established for superior hybrid performance. To comprehensively decipher the genetics of heterosis, we present a new design of multiple linked F1 ...

Transcriptome profiling of two super hybrid rice provides insights into the genetic basis of heterosis

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Heterosis is a phenomenon that hybrids show superior performance over their parents. The successful utilization of heterosis has greatly improved rice productivity, but the molecular basis of heterosis remains largely unclear.

Molecular basis of heterosis and related breeding strategies reveal its importance in vegetable breeding

Horticulture Research, 2021
Heterosis has historically been exploited in plants; however, its underlying genetic mechanisms and molecular basis remain elusive. In recent years, due to advances in molecular biotechnology at the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and epigenome levels ...

Biological pathway expression complementation contributes to biomass heterosis in Arabidopsis

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Heterosis, referring to the better performance of an F1 hybrid compared with its parents, has been greatly exploited in agriculture to improve yield. Nevertheless, our understanding of its genetic and molecular mechanism has remained limited.
