Additive genes contribute to yield heterosis in rice
The molecular mechanisms underlying heterosis remain unresolved, largely owing to the scarcity of accurately identified heterosis-associated genes. Here, we systematically investigate the inheritance patterns of three yield heterosis-related genes in rice, analyzing their effects in both homozygous and heterozygous genetic backgrounds. We find that heterozygosity at individual loci predominantly…
