Hybridity has a greater effect than paternal genome dosage on heterosis in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris)

Abstract Background The phenomenon of heterosis is critical to plant breeding and agricultural productivity. Heterosis occurs when F1 hybrid offspring display quantitative improvements in traits to levels that do not occur in the parents. Increasing the genome dosage (i.e. ploidy level) of F1 offspr...
