Disaggregating polyploidy, parental genome dosage and hybridity contributions to heterosis in arabidopsis thaliana
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-09-23)Heterosis is the phenomenon whereby hybrid offspring of genetically divergent parents display superior characteristics compared with their parents. Although hybridity and polyploidy can influence heterosis in hybrid plants, ... -
Genetic basis for dosage sensitivity of seed size heterosis in Arabidopsis thaliana
(NUI Galway, 2021-09-08)Heterosis refers to the ability of the F1 offspring to display superior characteristics compared with their parents and despite being genetically studied since the early 1900s, many aspects of this phenomenon remain unclear. ... -
Hybridity has a greater effect than paternal genome dosage on heterosis in sugar beet (beta vulgaris)
(Springer Nature, 2018-06-15)Background: The phenomenon of heterosis is critical to plant breeding and agricultural productivity. Heterosis occurs when F1 hybrid offspring display quantitative improvements in traits to levels that do not occur in the ...
