A property of some hybrids that are more likely to outperform either purebred parent in surviving.
Time course imaging of two maize inbreds and their F1 hybrid (middle) exhibiting heterosis.
A property of some hybrids that are more likely to outperform either purebred parent in surviving.
Genetic basis of heterosis. Dominance hypothesis. Scenario A. Fewer genes are under-expressed in the homozygous individual. Gene expression in the offspring is equal to the expression of the fittest parent. Overdominance hypothesis. Scenario B. Over-expression of certain genes in the heterozygous offspring. (The size of the circle depicts the expression level of gene A)
