Heterosis is prevalent for multiple traits in diverse maize germplasm.

PloS one - 13 Oct 2009

Flint-Garcia Sherry A, Buckler Edward S, Tiffin Peter, Ersoz Elhan, Springer Nathan M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Heterosis describes the superior phenotypes observed in hybrids relative to their inbred parents. Maize is a model system for studying heterosis due to the high levels of yield heterosis and commercial use of hybrids. METHODS: The inbred lines from an association mapping panel were crossed to a common inbred line, B73, to generate nearly 300 hybrid genotypes. Heterosis was evaluated for seventeen...
