Transcriptome Analysis of Interspecific Hybrid between Brassica napus and B. rapa Reveals Heterosis for Oil Rape Improvement by Jinfang Zhang, Guangrong Li, Haojie Li, Xiaobin Pu, Jun Jiang, Liang Chai, Benchuan Zheng, Cheng Cui, Zujun Yang, Yongqing Zhu, Liangcai Jiang

“…A total of 6,816 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mapped in the A and C genomes with 4,946 DEGs displayed nonadditively by comparing the gene expression patterns among the three samples. The coexistence of nonadditive DEGs including high-parent dominance, low-parent dominance, overdominance, and underdominance was observed in the gene action modes of F1 hybrid, which were potentially related to the heterosis. …”
