Distinct small RNA populations act antagonistically in formation of heterosis


ABSTRACT: This research reports the analysis of sRNAs in 14 and 7 inbred lines from a breeding population. We analyzed the contribution of sRNAs to the formation of heterosis via integrative association analysis with field data of 98 hybrids generated from the set of inbred lines. Our results indicate a contribution of sRNAs to heterosis. We were able to identify different sets of sRNAs associated with heterosis with distinct length and genome distribution patterns. Analysis of sRNA contribution to the formation of heterosis in maize by an association study in a breeding population.

Heterosis refers to a quantitative phenomenon in which F1 hybrid trait values exceed the mean of the parental values in a positive direction. Generally, it is dependent on a high degree of heterozygosity, which is maintained in hybrid breeding by developing parental lines in separate, genetically distinct heterotic groups. The mobility of small RNAs (sRNAs) that mediate epigenetic regulation of gene expression renders them promising candidates for modulating the action of combined diverse genome  ...[more]
