Microbe-dependent heterosis in maize

Wagner, M. R., Tang, C., Salvato, F., Clouse, K. M., Bartlett, A., Sermons, S., … Kleiner, M. (2020, May 7). (Vol. 5). Vol. 5.

By: M. Wagner *, C. Tang n, F. Salvato  n, K. Clouse*, A. Bartlett  n, S. Sermons n, M. Hoffmann  n, P. Balint-Kurti n , M. Kleiner  n

TL;DR: It is shown that heterosis of root biomass and other traits in maize is strongly dependent on the belowground microbial environment, an ecological phenomenon whereby soil microbes differentially impact the early growth of inbred and hybrid maize. (via Semantic Scholar)
