Unravelling the hybrid vigor in domestic equids: the effect of hybridization on bone shape variation and covariation. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2019 Hybridization has been widely practiced in plant and animal breeding as a means to enhance the quality and fitness of the organisms. In domestic equids, this hybrid vigor takes the form of improved physical and physiological characteristics, notably for ...

The Role of Transcriptional Regulation in Hybrid Vigor [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The genetic basis of hybrid vigor in plants remains largely unsolved but strong evidence suggests that variation in transcriptional regulation can explain many aspects of this phenomenon. Natural variation in transcriptional regulation is highly abundant

Hybrid mimics and hybrid vigor in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015 Significance Hybrids have an important role in many crops used for global food production. The increased production levels of biomass and grain are restricted to the first-generation hybrid. We report stabilization of hybrid vigor traits in pure breeding hybrid mimic lines.

Thermo-Sensitive Genic Male Sterile Lines of Neo-Tetraploid Rice Developed through Gene Editing Technology Revealed High Levels of Hybrid Vigor. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2022 Neo-tetraploid rice, which developed from the progenies of autotetraploid hybrid by our research group, is a useful germplasm with high fertility and strong heterosis when they crossed with other autotetraploid rice lines.

Apomixis and strategies to induce apomixis to preserve hybrid vigor for multiple generations. [PDF]
GM Crops Food, 2021 Hybrid seeds of several important crops with supreme qualities including yield, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance have been cultivated for decades. Thus far, a major challenge with hybrid seeds is that they do not have the ability to produce plants ...

Identification of Metabolomic Biomarkers of Seed Vigor and Aging in Hybrid Rice
Rice, 2022 Seed deterioration during rice seed storage can lead to seed vigor loss, which adversely affects agricultural production, the long-term preservation of germplasm resources, and the conservation of species diversity.
