Epigenetics and Heterosis in Crop Plants
Heterosis refers to improved or altered performance observed in F1 hybrid organisms when compared to their parents. Heterosis has revolutionized agriculture by improving key agronomic traits in crop plants. However, even after decades of research in this area a unifying molecular theory of heterosis remains somewhat elusive. For many years it has been observed that the dominant, overdominant an...
متن کاملMITOCHONDRIAL HETEROSIS IN MAIZE1p2
M A N Y hybrids between genetic pure lines in maize exhibit heterosis. The search for the genetic basis of heterosis has been carried on for many years and by many workers. Despite these efforts, an adequate, specific biochemical explanation of heterosis has not been presented. JONES (1952) has noted the interaction of nuclear genes and cytoplasm, as evidenced by differences in reciprocal cross...
متن کاملHeterosis: Theory and Estimation
Heterosis is the foundation of modern maize breeding programs. Despite its importance in maize production, we know surprisingly little about the genetic basis of heterosis. Shull (1952) coined the term heterosis and defined it as: "... the interpretation of increased vigor, size, fruitfulness, speed of development, resistance to disease and to insect pests, or to climatic rigors of any kind, ma...
متن کاملWhat Is “ Heterosis ” ? L
T IS not my purpose in this paper to present or to discuss the actual basic I causes or the fundamental mechanisms which bring about the increased size, the excessive kinetic energy, the increased productiveness, resistance to disease or to unfavorable conditions of the environment, the “stimulating effects of hybridity,” the so-called “hybrid vigor” of English writers and “Luxurieren” of many ...
متن کاملGenomic architecture of biomass heterosis in Arabidopsis.
Heterosis is most frequently manifested by the substantially increased vigorous growth of hybrids compared with their parents. Investigating genomic variations in natural populations is essential to understand the initial molecular mechanisms underlying heterosis in plants. Here, we characterized the genomic architecture associated with biomass heterosis in 200 Arabidopsis hybrids. The genome-w...
