Heterosis: 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 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 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 کاملHeterosis resulting from degenerative changes.
ERITABLE variations in inbred strains of maize occur infrequently. All H the mutations BO far found either do not increase the amount of growth and productiveness or clearly reduce the plants in some degree (JONES 1924, 193a, 1944; SINGLETON 1943). Several changes have been noted recently and reported in a preliminary way (JONES 1944) which reduce the vigor of the inbred plants but which increa...
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...
