The incomplete dominance of gene expression controlled by Trans-eQTL hotspots contributes to heterosis in maize

Abstract Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, is a key genetic and agricultural phenomenon driven by non-additive effects, though its mechanisms remain debated. To examine these effects at the transcriptomic level, we integrate population-scale transcriptomic and phenotypic data in maize. We find that ∼30% o...
