Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Maize is one of the first crops to benefit from heterosis, significantly enhancing commercial breeding. Despite extensive research, the molecular mechanisms of heterosis remain elusive. OBJECTIVES: This study integrates a novel genetic framework with transcriptomic and phenotypic analyses to identify heterosis-related genes and uncover their regulatory mechanisms. METHODS: Single-segment...
