The dominance model for heterosis explains culm length genetics in a hybrid sorghum variety

Abstract Heterosis helps increase the biomass of many crops; however, while models for its mechanisms have been proposed, it is not yet fully understood. Here, we use a QTL analysis of the progeny of a high-biomass sorghum F1 hybrid to examine heterosis. Five QTLs were identified for culm length and...
