Utilization of heterosis has greatly increased the productivity of many crops worldwide. Although tremendous progress has been made in characterizing the genetic basis of heterosis using genomic ...
When two homozygous plant lines with different characteristics are crossed, the resulting offspring are often more robust and productive than their parents. This phenomenon is called heterosis. It can ...
AMES, Iowa – An Iowa State University agronomist has helped uncover the genetic mechanisms in sorghum plants that allow hybrids to perform better than parent varieties, a process known as heterosis.
This study was reported by Qifa Zhang and Yidan Ouyang’ group from the National Key Laboratory of Crop Genetic Improvement, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China. Inbreeding depression is ...
To determine the anther culture response of spring bread wheat, 44 cultivars and lines, and 14 F1s were cultured. Genotypes showed significant differences especially in callus induction and green ...
