Analysis of a Triple Testcross Design With Recombinant Inbred Lines Reveals a Significant Role of Epistasis in Heterosis for Biomass-Related Traits in Arabidopsis

Primary causes of heterosis are still unknown. Our goal was to investigate the extent and underlying genetic causes of heterosis for five biomass-related traits in Arabidopsis thaliana. We (i) investigated the relative contribution of dominance and epistatic effects to heterosis in the hybrid C24 x...
