The Pitfalls of Heterosis Coefficients [PDF]
Plants, 2020 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 accounting for “real” heterosis and a term that is not related to heterosis, since it is derived solely from

Heterosis studies for quantitative traits in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2013 A study was conducted in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) at Department of Botany, Pratishthan Mahavidyalaya, Paithan,Aurangabad (M.S.) to assess the extent of the heterosis for sixteen quantitative traits including seed yield per plant.

Hierarchical additive effects on heterosis in rice (Oryza sativa L.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Exploitation of heterosis in crops has contributed greatly to improvement in global food and energy production. In spite of the pervasive importance of heterosis, a complete understanding of its mechanisms has remained elusive.

Heterosis in Bread Wheat [PDF]
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 1996 Values of heterosis and combining ability for seven traits were estimated in a 6 × 6 diallel population by using Method 4 of Griffing type analysis. High heterosis was found for the harvest index and yield in the cross Orsa × Ak 702. which had the best specific combining ability. In crosses involving Orso and Ak 702, Orso reduced the plant height while

Analysis of reproductive performances during the formation of a synthetic rabbit strain [PDF]
, 2005 [EN] In 1995, a synthetic rabbit strain ('2666') was formed at INRA for commercial meat purposesby crossing the INRA '2066' strain and the 'V' strain from the Polytechnical University of Valencia (Spain).The development of some reproductive traits and ...

Heterosis of egg-laying performance in chickens [PDF]
, 2022 Heterosis is the phenomenon that hybrids display better performance than the parental average. In this study, we aimed to quantify egg-laying performance, and heterosis for a complete diallel cross of Beijing-You and White leghorn chickens.
