From hybrid genomes to heterotic trait output: Challenges and opportunities.

Abstract excerpt

Heterosis (or hybrid vigor) has been widely used in crop seed breeding to improve many key economic traits. Nevertheless, the genetic and molecular basis of this important phenomenon has long remained elusive, constraining its flexible and effective exploitation. Advanced genomic approaches are efficient in characterizing the mechanism of heterosis. Here, we review how the omics approaches, including genomic,...
