Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Numerous crops have transitioned to hybrid seed production to increase yields and yield stability through heterosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying heterosis and its stability across environments are not yet fully understood. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to (1) elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying heterosis in sunflower, and (2) determine how heterosis is...
