The flowering gene SINGLE FLOWER TRUSS drives heterosis for yield in tomato.

Nature genetics - 1 May 2010

Krieger Uri, Lippman Zachary B, Zamir Dani

Abstract excerpt

Intercrossing different varieties of plants frequently produces hybrid offspring with superior vigor and increased yields, in a poorly understood phenomenon known as heterosis. One classical unproven model for heterosis is overdominance, which posits in its simplest form that improved vigor can result from a single heterozygous gene. Here we report that heterozygosity for tomato loss-of-function alleles of SINGLE...
