Abstract excerpt
Heterosis is a commonly observed phenomenon in nature and refers to the superior performance of hybrids relative to both parents. The molecular mechanisms of heterosis are mostly unknown. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping has been used to explain the genetic basis of heterosis, and large amounts of QTLs have been mapped for various agronomic traits, but the nature of QTL contributing to heterosis is still...
