Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Panicle Heterosis in an Elite Hybrid Rice ZZY10 and Its Parental Lines.

ABSTRACT: Heterosis is the phenomenon in which some hybrid traits are superior to those of their parents. Most studies have analyzed the heterosis of agronomic traits of crops; however, heterosis of the panicles can improve yield and is important for crop breeding. Therefore, a systematic study of panicle heterosis is needed, especially during the reproductive stage. RNA sequencing (RNA Seq) and transcriptome analysis are suitable for further study of heterosis. Using the Illumina Nova Seq platform, the transcriptome of ZhongZheYou 10 (ZZY10), an elite rice hybrid, the maintainer line ZhongZhe B (ZZB), and the restorer line Z7-10 were analyzed at the heading date in Hangzhou, 2022. 581 million high-quality short reads were obtained by sequencing and were aligned against the Nipponbare reference geno
