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 ...

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.

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

Sci 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]

Cell 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 ...

The epigenetic landscape of heterosis: integrating multi-layer regulatory insights and navigating the path to causality [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
In some crosses, the hybrid progeny perform better than their parental inbred lines in terms of beneficial traits (e.g., greater biomass, faster development), a phenomenon known as hybrid vigor or heterosis. While classical genetic paradigms explain much

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

BMC Genet, 2014
Plants with heterosis/hybrid vigor perform better than their parents in many traits. However, the biological mechanisms underlying heterosis remain unclear.
