Abstract

The genetic basis of heterosis of an elite rice hybrid was investigated by using an “immortalized F 2” population produced by randomly permutated intermating of 240 recombinant inbred lines from a cross between the parents of Shanyou 63, the most widely cultivated hybrid in China. Measurements of heterosis for crosses in the immortalized F 2 population were obtained from replicated field trials over 2 years by inter-planting the hybrids with the parental recombinant inbred lines. The analyses were conducted making use of a linkage map comprising 231 segregating molecular marker loci covering the entire rice genome. Heterotic effects were detected at 33 loci for the four traits with modified composite interval mapping. The heterotic loci showed little overlap with quantitative trait loci for trait performance, suggesting that heterosis and trait performance may be conditioned by different sets of loci. Large numbers of digenic interactions were resolved by using two-way ANOVA and confirmed by randomization tests. All kinds of genetic effects, including partial-, full-, and overdominance at single-locus level and all three forms of digenic interactions (additive by additive, additive by dominance, and dominance by dominance), contributed to heterosis in the immortalized F 2 population, indicating that these genetic components were not mutually exclusive in the genetic basis of heterosis. Heterotic effects at the single-locus level, in combination with the marginal advantages of double heterozygotes caused by dominance by dominance interaction at the two-locus level could adequately explain the genetic basis of heterosis in Shanyou 63. These results may help reconcile the century-long debate concerning the genetic basis of heterosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
