Genome-wide meta-analysis of maize heterosis reveals the potential role of additive gene expression at pericentromeric loci

BACKGROUND: The identification of QTL involved in heterosis formation is one approach to unravel the not yet fully understood genetic basis of heterosis - the improved agronomic performance of hybrid F1 plants compared to their inbred parents. The identification of candidate genes underlying a QTL i...
