Exploitation of crop heterosis is crucial for increasing global agriculture production.
However, the quantitative genomic analysis of heterosis was lacking, and there is currently …

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 …

Background Heterosis is widely used in agriculture. However, its molecular mechanisms are
still unclear in plants. Here, we develop, sequence, and record the phenotypes of 418 …

Exploitation of heterosis is one of the most important applications of genetics in agriculture.
However, the genetic mechanisms of heterosis are only partly understood, and a global view …

The rich genetic diversity in Oryza sativa and Oryza rufipogon serves as the main sources in
rice breeding. Large-scale resequencing has been undertaken to discover allelic variants in …

The successful application of heterosis in hybrid rice has dramatically improved rice
productivity, but the genetic mechanism for heterosis in the hybrid rice remains unclear. In …

Utilization of heterosis has greatly increased the productivity of many crops worldwide.
Although tremendous progress has been made in characterizing the genetic basis of …

Hybrid sterility (HS) between Oryza sativa (Asian rice) and O. glaberrima (African rice) is
mainly controlled by the S1 locus. However, our limited understanding of the HS mechanism …

Here we analyse genetic variation, population structure and diversity among 3,010 diverse
Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomes from the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project. Our …

Rice, one of the world's most important food plants, has important syntenic relationships with
the other cereal species and is a model plant for the grasses. Here we present a map-based …
