Origin and adaptation to high altitude of Tibetan semi-wild wheat
Mechanism of high altitude adaptation of wheat remains unknown. Here, the authors assemble the draft genome of a Tibetan semi-wild wheat accession and resequence 245 wheat accessions to reveal that Tibetan semi-wild wheat has been de-domesticated from ...

AFLP Fingerprinting and Genetic Diversity of Main Sweetpotato Varieties in China
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

Estimation and Testing of Gene Expression Heterosis [PDF]
Heterosis, also known as the hybrid vigor, occurs when the mean phenotype of hybrid offspring is superior to that of its two inbred parents. The heterosis phenomenon is extensively utilized in agriculture though the molecular basis is still unknown.

Assessment of heterosis in two Arabidopsis thaliana common-reference mapping populations. [PDF]
Hybrid vigour, or heterosis, has been of tremendous importance in agriculture for the improvement of both crops and livestock. Notwithstanding large efforts to study the phenomenon of heterosis in the last decades, the identification of common molecular ...

Heterosis for characters governed by two genes [PDF]
An expression for heterosis over midparent is derived for characters governed by one gene when hybrids are made using arbitrarily inbred parents. It is shown that, so long as inbreeding does not depress the vigour and fitness of parents, heterosis in ...
