Transcriptome and functional analysis reveals hybrid vigor for oil biosynthesis in oil palm. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2017
Oil palm is the most productive oil crop in the world and composes 36% of the world production. However, the molecular mechanisms of hybrids vigor (or heterosis) between Dura, Pisifera and their hybrid progeny Tenera has not yet been well understood ...

The chromatin remodeler DDM1 promotes hybrid vigor by regulating salicylic acid metabolism. [PDF]

open access: yesCell Discov, 2016
In plants, hybrid vigor is influenced by genetic and epigenetic mechanisms; however, the molecular pathways are poorly understood. We investigated the potential contributions of epigenetic regulators to heterosis in Arabidposis and found that the ...

Uncovering seed vigor responsive miRNA in hybrid wheat and its parents by deep sequencing [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics
Background Two-line hybrid wheat technology system is one way to harness wheat heterosis both domestically and internationally. Seed vigor is a crucial parameter for assessing seed quality, as enhanced seed vigor can lead to yield increments of over 20 ...

Molecular mechanisms of polyploidy and hybrid vigor. [PDF]

open access: yesTrends Plant Sci, 2010
Hybrids such as maize (Zea mays) or domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) grow bigger and stronger than their parents. This is also true for allopolyploids such as wheat (Triticum spp.) or frog (i.e. Xenopus and Silurana) that contain two or more sets of chromosomes from different species.

Analysis of the leaf methylomes of parents and their hybrids provides new insight into hybrid vigor in Populus deltoides. [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genet, 2014
BackgroundPlants with heterosis/hybrid vigor perform better than their parents in many traits. However, the biological mechanisms underlying heterosis remain unclear.

Hybrid Vigor in Poultry

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1927
Abstract The phenomenon of hybrid vigor is well known from the crossing of both plants and animals. The first generation hybrids resulting from the crossing of two pure breeds frequently exhibit vigor superior to either of the crossed pure breeds. The high yielding qualities of first generation hybrids in corn have been demonstrated by Jones2 and ...
