Description:
Genomic architecture of heterosis for yield traits in rice Nature 537, 7622 (2016). doi:10.1038/nature19760 Authors: Xuehui Huang, Shihua Yang, Junyi Gong, Qiang Zhao, Qi Feng, Qilin Zhan, Yan Zhao, Wenjun Li, Benyi Cheng, Junhui Xia, Neng Chen, Tao Huang, Lei Zhang, Danlin Fan, Jiaying Chen, Congcong Zhou, Yiqi Lu, Qijun Weng & Bin Han Increasing grain yield is a long-term goal in crop breeding to meet the demand for global food security. Heterosis, when a hybrid shows higher performance for a trait than both parents, offers an important strategy for crop breeding. To examine the genetic basis of heterosis
