We compared the expression among three lines, Col, C24, and their hybrids at 10 days after sowing (DAS). Whole plants without root in Col, C24, and their F1 hybrids with three replications.
Arabidopsis thaliana shows hybrid vigour (heterosis) in progeny of crosses between Col and C24 accessions (1). Hybrid vigour was evident as early as the mature seeds and in the seedlings 3 days after sowing (DAS). At 3 DAS genes encoding chloroplast-located proteins were significantly overrepresen...
