Abstract excerpt

Heterosis has been widely used to increase grain quality and yield, but its genetic mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the genetic basis of heterosis for four maize kernel traits was examined in two test populations constructed using a set of 184 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) and two inbred lines (Zheng58 and Xun9058) in two environments. 63 and 57 different heterotic loci (HL) were...
