Assessment of heterosis in two Arabidopsis thaliana common-reference mapping populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
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 ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of TUA and TUB Genes in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during Its Development

Plants, 2022
Microtubules play a fundamental role in plant development, morphogenesis, and cytokinesis; they are assembled from heterodimers containing an α-tubulin (TUA) and a β-tubulin (TUB) protein.

Differential effects of a post-anthesis heat stress on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain proteome determined by iTRAQ

Scientific Reports, 2017
Heat stress, a major abiotic stressor of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), often results in reduced yield and decreased quality. In this study, a proteomic method, Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation Isobaric (iTRAQ), was adopted to analyze the ...

Origin and adaptation to high altitude of Tibetan semi-wild wheat

Nature Communications, 2020
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 ...

Patterns of genome-wide allele-specific expression in hybrid rice and the implications on the genetic basis of heterosis

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Utilization of heterosis has greatly increased productivity of many crops globally. Allele-specific expression (ASE) has been suggested as a mechanism for causing heterosis.

Heterosis for Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Maize Hybrids Enhanced over Decades in China

Agriculture, 2022
The nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of modern maize hybrids has been greatly improved, but for decades, little was known on whether the NUE heterosis of maize hybrids had increased.

Heterosis in Cepaea [PDF]

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2007
A test has been made of the association of heterozygosity with shell breadth in the polymorphic snail Cepaea nemoralis. The material was collected by C. B. Goodhart from a series of paired sites at which individuals reached different adult breadths.

The metabolomic landscape of rice heterosis highlights pathway biomarkers for predicting complex phenotypes

Plant Physiology, 2021
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying complex phenotypes requires systematic analyses of complicated metabolic networks and contributes to improvements in the breeding efficiency of staple cereal crops and diagnostic accuracy for human ...

Heterosis of leaf and rhizosphere microbiomes in field-grown maize.

New Phytologist, 2020
Macroorganisms' genotypes shape their phenotypes, which in turn shape the habitat available to potential microbial symbionts. This influence of host genotype on microbiome composition has been demonstrated in many systems; however, most previous studies ...

Heterosis as investigated in terms of polyploidy and genetic diversity using designed Brassica juncea amphiploid and its progenitor diploid species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Fixed heterosis resulting from favorable interactions between the genes on their homoeologous genomes in an allopolyploid is considered analogous to classical heterosis accruing from interactions between homologous chromosomes in heterozygous plants of a
