Abstract
Heterosis is a common biological phenomenon that can be used to optimize yield and quality of crops. Using heterosis breeding, hybrids with suitable nicotine content have been applied to tobacco leaf production. However, the molecular mechanism of the formation of nicotine heterosis has never been explained from the perspective of protein. The DIA proteomics technique was used to compare the differential proteomics of the hybrid Va116 × Basma, showing strong heterosis in nicotine content from its parent lines Va116 and Basma. Proteomics analysis indicated that 65.2% of DEPs showed over-dominant expression patterns, and these DEPs included QS, BBL, GS, ARAF and RFC1 which related to nicotine synthesis. In addition, some DEPs (including GST, ABCE2 and ABCF1 and SLY1) that may be associated with nicotinic transport exhibited significant heterosis over the parental lines. These findings demonstrated that the efficiency of the synthesis and transport of nicotine in hybrids was significantly higher than that in the parent lines, and the accumulation of over-dominant expression proteins may be the cause of heterosis of nicotinic content in hybrids.

Investigating the molecular genetic basis of heterosis for internode expansion in maize by microRNA transcriptomic deep sequencing. Funct Integr Genomics 2014; 15:261-70.

Abstract
Heterosis has been used widely in the breeding of maize and other crops and plays an important role in increasing yield, improving quality, and enhancing stress resistance, but its molecular mechanism is far from clear. To determine whether microRNA (miRNA)-dependent gene regulation is responsible for heterosis of elongating internodes below the ear and ear height in maize, a deep-sequencing strategy was applied to the elite hybrid Xundan20, which is currently cultivated widely in China, and its two parents. RNA was extracted from the eighth internode because it shows clear internode length heterosis. A total of 99 conserved maize miRNAs were detected in both the hybrid and parental lines. Most of these miRNAs were expressed nonadditively in the hybrid compared with its parental lines. These results indicated that miRNAs might participate in heterosis during internode expansion in maize and exert an influence on ear and plant height via the repression of their target genes. In total, eight novel miRNAs belonging to four miRNA families were predicted in the expanding internode. Global repression of miRNAs in the hybrid, which might result in enhanced gene expression, might be one reason why the hybrid shows longer internodes and taller seedlings compared with its parental lines.

Abstract
Heterosis has been utilized widely in the breeding of maize and other crops, and plays an important role in increasing yield, improving quality and enhancing stresses resistance, but the molecular mechanism responsible for heterosis is far from clear. To illustrate whether miRNA-dependent gene regulation is responsible for heterosis during maize germination, a deep-sequencing technique was applied to germinating embryos of a maize hybrid, Yuyu22, which is cultivated widely in China and its parental inbred lines, Yu87-1 and Zong3. The target genes of several miRNAs showing significant expression in the hybrid and parental lines were predicted and tested using real-time PCR. A total of 107 conserved maize miRNAs were co-detected in the hybrid and parental lines. Most of these miRNAs were expressed non-additively in the hybrid compared to its parental lines. These results indicated that miRNAs might participate in heterosis during maize germination and exert an influence via the decay of their target genes. Novel miRNAs were predicted follow a rigorous criterion and only the miRNAs detected in all three samples were treated as a novel maize miRNA. In total, 34 miRNAs belonged to 20 miRNA families were predicted in germinating maize seeds. Global repression of miRNAs in the hybrid, which might result in enhanced gene expression, might be one reason why the hybrid showed higher embryo germination vigor compared to its parental lines.

Abstract
Self-incompatible diploid potatoes were altered to self-compatible ones by a function of S-locus inhibitor gene and continued selfing generated highly homozygous inbreds. In this study, this process was investigated for the status of DNA methylation by a simple method using genomic DNA digested by methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes prior to RAPD analysis. We detected 31 methylation-sensitive RAPD bands, of which 11 were newly appeared in the selfed progenies, and 6 of them stably inherited to subsequent generations. Aberrant segregations and paternal- or atavism-like transmission were also found. Segregating methylation-sensitive bands in initial populations became fixed in the advanced selfed progenies by 75.0-93.8%, of which 41.7% were fixed to all present and 58.3% to all absent. Because DNA methylation is generally recognized to suppress gene expression as regulatory factors, homozygosity/heterozygosity of methylated DNA may be involved in inbreeding depression/heterosis.

Abstract
The genetic and molecular approaches to heterosis usually do not rely on any model of the genotype-phenotype relationship. From the generalization of Kacser and Burns' biochemical model for dominance and epistasis to networks with several variable enzymes, we hypothesized that metabolic heterosis could be observed because the response of the flux towards enzyme activities and/or concentrations follows a multi-dimensional hyperbolic-like relationship. To corroborate this, we used the values of systemic parameters accounting for the kinetic behaviour of four enzymes of the upstream part of glycolysis, and simulated genetic variability by varying in silico enzyme concentrations. Then we "crossed" virtual parents to get 1,000 hybrids, and showed that best-parent heterosis was frequently observed. The decomposition of the flux value into genetic effects, with the help of a novel multilocus epistasis index, revealed that antagonistic additive-by-additive epistasis effects play the major role in this framework of the genotype-phenotype relationship. This result is consistent with various observations in quantitative and evolutionary genetics, and provides a model unifying the genetic effects underlying heterosis.

Abstract
In this review, we discuss the recent research on allelic variation in maize and possible implications of this work toward our understanding of heterosis. Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, is the increased performance of a hybrid relative to the parents, and is a result of the variation that is present within a species. Intraspecific comparisons of sequence and expression levels in maize have documented a surprisingly high level of allelic variation, which includes variation for the content of genic fragments, variation in repetitive elements surrounding genes, and variation in gene expression levels. There is evidence that transposons and repetitive DNA play a major role in the generation of this allelic diversity. The combination of allelic variants provides a more comprehensive suite of alleles in the hybrid that may be involved in novel allelic interactions. A major unresolved question is how the combined allelic variation and interactions in a hybrid give rise to heterotic phenotypes. An understanding of allelic variation present in maize provides an opportunity to speculate on mechanisms that might lead to heterosis. Variation for the presence of genes, the presence of novel beneficial alleles, and modified levels of gene expression in hybrids may all contribute to the heterotic phenotypes.

Abstract
Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, has been widely exploited in plant breeding for many decades, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenomenon remain unknown. In this study, we applied genome-wide transcript profiling to gain a global picture of the ways in which a large proportion of genes are expressed in the immature ear tissues of a series of 16 maize hybrids that vary in their degree of heterosis. Key observations include: (1) the proportion of allelic additively expressed genes is positively associated with hybrid yield and heterosis; (2) the proportion of genes that exhibit a bias towards the expression level of the paternal parent is negatively correlated with hybrid yield and heterosis; and (3) there is no correlation between the over- or under-expression of specific genes in maize hybrids with either yield or heterosis. The relationship of the expression patterns with hybrid performance is substantiated by analysis of a genetically improved modern hybrid (Pioneer hybrid 3394) versus a less improved older hybrid (Pioneer hybrid 3306) grown at different levels of plant density stress. The proportion of allelic additively expressed genes is positively associated with the modern high yielding hybrid, heterosis and high yielding environments, whereas the converse is true for the paternally biased gene expression. The dynamic changes of gene expression in hybrids responding to genotype and environment may result from differential regulation of the two parental alleles. Our findings suggest that differential allele regulation may play an important role in hybrid yield or heterosis, and provide a new insight to the molecular understanding of the underlying mechanisms of heterosis.

Abstract
The molecular basis of hybrid vigor (heterosis) has remained unknown despite the importance of this phenomenon in evolution and in practical breeding programs. To formulate a molecular basis of heterosis, an understanding of gene expression in inbred and hybrid states is needed. In this study, we examined the amount of various transcripts in hybrid and inbred individuals (B73 and Mo17) to determine whether the quantities of specific messenger RNAs were additive or nonadditive in the hybrids. Further, we examined the levels of the same transcripts in hybrid triploid individuals that had received unequal genomic contributions, one haploid genome from one parent and two from the other. If allelic expression were merely the additive value in hybrids from the two parents, the midparent values would be observed. Our study revealed that a substantial number of genes do not exhibit the midparent value of expression in hybrids. Instead, transcript levels in the diploid hybrids correlate negatively with the levels in diploid inbreds. Although transcript levels were clearly nonadditive, transcript levels in triploid hybrids were affected by genomic dosage.

Abstract
Proteomics is becoming a necessity in plant biology, as it is in medicine, zoology and microbiology, for deciphering the function and role of the genes that are or will be sequenced. In this review we focus on the various, mainly genetic, applications of the proteomic tools that have been developed in recent years: characterization of individuals or lines, estimation of genetic variability within and between populations, establishment of genetic distances that can be used in phylogenetic studies, characterization of mutants and localization of the genes encoding the revealed proteins. Improvements in specifically devoted software have permitted precise quantification of the variation in amounts of proteins, leading to the concept of "protein quantity loci" which, combined with the "quantitative trait loci" approach, results in testable hypotheses regarding the role of "candidate proteins" in the metabolism or phenotype under study. This new development is exemplified by the reaction of plants to drought, a trait of major agronomic interest. The accumulation of data regarding genomic and cDNA sequencing will be connected to the protein databases currently developed in plants.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and image analysis are currently used for proteome analysis in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.). This study presents a database of expressed proteins extracted from needles and xylem, two important tissues for growth and wood formation. Electrophoresis was carried out by isoelectric focusing (IEF) in the first dimension and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in the second. Silver staining made it possible to detect an average of 900 and 600 spots on 2-DE gels from needles and xylem, respectively. A total of 28 xylem and 35 needle proteins were characterized by internal peptide microsequencing. Out of these 63 proteins, 57 (90%) could be identified based on amino acid similarity with known proteins, of which 24 (42%) have already been described in conifers. Overall comparison of both tissues indicated that 29% and 36% of the spots were specific to xylem and needles, respectively, while the other spots were of identical molecular weight and isoelectric point. The homology of spot location in 2-DE patterns was further validated by sequence analysis of proteins present in both tissues. A proteomic database of maritime pine is accessible on the internet (http://www.pierroton.inra.fr/genetics/2D/).

Abstract
The protein composition of Prunus armeniaca bark and leaf tissues was investigated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Three different extraction procedures were tested in order to obtain reproducible gels with numerous spots of high intensity. The best results were achieved with extraction in Tris-buffer in the presence of a nonionic detergent, reducing agents, and polyphenol oxidase inhibitors. As many as 744 protein spots were resolved from leaf tissues. The patterns exhibited well-focused spots, with apparent molecular masses ranging from 19 to 90 kDa and isoelectric point from 4.5 to 8.5. The Tris extraction buffer was also the most appropriate for cortical tissue analysis.

Abstract
Genetic relationship can be a useful predictor of the relative performance of hybrid combinations for a hybrid breeding program resulting in reduced time and cost of hybrid testing. Genetic relationships of 112 wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) lines were estimated using 41 DNA clones hybridizing to 273 DNA fragments and by calculating coefficient of parentage (COP). Heterosis was estimated for 722 hybrids grown in multiple locations, with 189 being tested in more than 1 year. The average RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) based genetic distance index (DI) was 0.35. Midparent heterosis for grain yield ranged from −20 to 57% and high-parent heterosis from −22 to 47%. The correlation between RFLP-based estimates of genetic distance and COP was nonsignificant (−0.33). Coefficient of parentage was significantly correlated with heterosis for all traits in 1991 but not in other years. Genetic distance based on RFLPs scored in this study was not correlated with heterosis in any of the years tested. Further refinement of gene pools and new prediction methods will be required to facilitate the exploitation of genetic variability for hybrid wheat improvement. Key words : wheat, heterosis, genetic distance.

Abstract
A genetic analysis of heat shock protein (HSP) synthesis was performed in seedling leaf tissue of two maize inbred lines, their F1 hybrid and F2 progeny. Protein synthesis following a high temperature treatment was visualized by [(35)S]-methionine in vivo labelling and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The parental lines' HSP synthesis patterns revealed both qualitative and quantitative polymorphisms implicative of differences in HSP structural genes and regulatory factors. The F1 hybrid HSP profile indicated that synthesis of all parental HSPs conformed to dominant inheritance patterns, including complete dominance, over-dominance and co-dominance. Alleles for six low-molecularweight HSPs in F2 progeny assorted according to typical 3∶1 Mendelian ratios for dominant gene expression. There is evidence for unlinked gene loci of four different HSP gene pairs, but data for three other HSP gene pairs were inconclusive, perhaps reflecting linkage for one pair and complex regulatory factor interactions for the other two pairs of genes. These results clearly indicate the existence of genetic variability in HSP synthesis and emphasize the potential of partitioning their roles in thermal tolerance using genetic and molecular analyses.

Abstract
The genetic variability of eight carrot populations representing commercially important morphological types was analyzed for seed protein polymorphism by one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis using immobilized pH gradients (IPG) in order to assess the potential of both techniques in carrot hybrid breeding as well as genetic quality testing of carrot trade seeds. The digitized silver-stained one- and two-dimensional gels of the urea/detergent-soluble seed proteins were subjected to computer analysis to estimate both the inter- and intrapopulation genetic variability. The results indicated that isoelectric focusing (IEF-IPG) of seed proteins is a powerful tool for quick screening of the genetic variability present between and within carrot populations, while two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (IPG-DALT) can be employed to establish detailed genetic relationships of carrot populations selected by initial IEF-IPG screening in order to use genetic distant and homogeneous populations for successful carrot hybrid breeding. However, the applicability of IEF-IPG in genetic quality testing of carrot seeds seems to be restricted to hybrid purity testing. IPG-DALT is a far more powerful tool to profile unambiguously all carrot varieties commercially used in order to test the genetic quality of trade seeds, because this technique exhibits protein spots or spot combinations exclusively found in each of the eight varieties investigated.

Abstract
The genetic variation of 10 morphologically similar pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) inbred lines has been analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis with immobilized pH gradient (IPG-DALT) of seed proteins. For all pairs of inbred lines genetic distance indices were calculated on the basis of the IPG-DALT analysis and a genetic tree was constructed. The protein polymorphism data of the 10 inbred lines were integrated into a pepper breeding program to validate the assumption that there is a higher chance of achieving better hybrid performance when the genetic distance between the parents is as great as possible. Field trials were performed in Turkey and consisted of a total of 27 crossings based on 9 inbred lines. Fifteen hybrids exceeded the crop yield of the better parent and 8 additional hybrids exceeded the mean crop yield of both parents. The genetic distance indices of the parental inbred lines based on protein polymorphism data were not significantly correlated to heterosis performance of the experimental hybrids (r = 0.20), indicating that protein polymorphism data add little to the prediction of single cross hybrid performance. Nevertheless, protein polymorphism data support the breeder in being more effective in finding out the best inbred combinations, because most of the less promising crossings can be omitted from the expensive and time-consuming performance tests. Those hybrids whose distance indices exceeded the mean of all 27 distance values (0.52) were superior to the mean value of all heterosis performances by 19%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Relative abundance and solubility of proteins from etiolated coleoptiles of maize were investigated using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D PAGE). Automatic quantification of silver-stained polypeptides on replicate 2-D gels made it possible to test the linearity of the relationship between spot integrated optical density and protein amount in the range from 15 micrograms to 135 micrograms per gel, in two inbred lines. A linear response was found for more than 60% of the spots in each genotype. When a linear response was found in both lines for a given spot, the slope values were similar in 94% of the cases, indicating the reliability of silver staining for polypeptide quantification. The parameters of the curves allowed the definition of protein classes of different abundances that could be compared for genetic variability between the two lines. From a comparison between standard 2-D patterns (trichloroacetic acid-acetone extracted proteins) and patterns obtained from Tris buffer extracted proteins, it appeared that 92% of the proteins visualized in the standard gels were soluble. No difference in genetic variability, either qualitative or quantitative, was evidenced between the various classes of abundance, or between soluble and insoluble proteins.

Abstract
The relationship between heterozygosity at neutral marker loci and heterosis of F1 hybrids is investigated using a theoretical model. Results emphasize that linkage disequilibrium between the markers and the loci implicated in heterosis [quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that exhibit dominance effects] is a necessary condition to finding a correlation (ϱ mh ) between heterozygosity at marker loci and the heterosis. The effect of population structure, in which the parental inbred lines of the hybrids belong to different heterotic groups, is considered. ϱ mh is investigated for: (1) hybrids between lines that belong to the same heterotic group (within-group hybrids); (2) hybrids between lines that belong to different groups (between-group hybrids); and (3) all hybrids, both within and between-groups. Within a group, significant values of (ϱ mh ) may arise because of linkage disequilibrium generated by drift. At the between-group level, no correlation is expected since link-age disequilibrium should differ randomly from one group to the other, which is consistent with recent experimental results. Possible ways to achieve prediction of the heterosis in this situation are discussed. When all hybrids are considered simultaneously, divergence of allelic frequencies among groups for the markers and the QTLs produces a correlation between heterosis and heterozygosity at marker loci. This correlation increases with the number of markers that are considered.

Abstract
Nine polymorphic isoenzymatic systems were studied in 39 cultivated sunflower populations originating from ten countries. Analysis of combining abilities with four tester lines was also performed on these populations for seed yield, seed moisture and seed oil content. The MDH, PGI, PGD and GOT systems appeared to provide the best discrimination of specific combining ability effects with the four testers. The MDH and GOT systems provided a between-population structure that was consistent with the country of origin.

Abstract
A population of ten morphologically similar inbred lines of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) has been investigated for polymorphism of seed proteins by two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis with immobilized pH gradients. To reveal as much variation as possible, both the water- and the urea/detergent-soluble protein fraction were electrophoretically analyzed and subsequently visualized by silver staining. The 2-D patterns were subjected to computer analysis to be able to establish genetic variation. A high number of the seed proteins were found to be variable as to presence/absence: these were 68 out of 184 reproducible water-soluble proteins and 34 out of 419 reproducible urea/detergent-soluble proteins. Comparison of the 2-D data of the water-soluble and the urea/detergent-soluble proteins, which represent the biggest part of all extractable seed proteins, showed that both protein fractions have proteins in common, but the variable proteins found in both fractions were non-identical. The difference of variability scored in both solubility fractions was discussed. Genetic distances between all pairs of inbred pepper lines were calculated and a genetic tree was constructed. A correlation analysis was carried out to correct for genetic linkage and for secondary modifications, to have a more proper estimate of genetic distances. In both cases the dendrograms showed two distinct genetic groups of five inbred lines. This electrophoretic study was done in order to utilize the genetic distance data in breeding for heterosis. The genetic distance data presented will be used to validate the assumption that there is a higher chance to achieve better hybrid performance when the genetic distance between the parents is as great as possible.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The analysis of two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis quantitative data from a design involving 21 maize genotypes revealed a significant experimental variation. In order to minimize this variation, we investigated the possible causes and found that it was essentially due to global effects, affecting all the spots in a gel in a similar way, and occurring during the 2-D run/staining procedure. Three scaling methods to discard these experimental variations were analyzed: the linear scaling method, a method based on principal component analysis, and a combined method that unites the advantages of both of the former. Comparing these three methods, we found that they led to consistent results with regard to the factor under study, i.e. the genetic factor in our case. However, the combined scaling method was the most efficient in reducing experimental variations.

Abstract
Proteins from haploid megagametophytes from 18 trees were studied by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE). A total of 222 seeds, an average of 12 per tree, were analysed individually. 150 protein spots appeared to segregate on the polyacrylamide gels in at least tree. Genetic interpretations were made to define the number of loci responsible for the presence versus absence, staining differences or position variation of the segregating spots. The complete covariation observed between some spots could be the result of either the separation of a single gene product into two or more constituents, very close linkage, or the action of a pleiotropic gene. Human genetics techniques were used to map the 84 putative loci detected. Sixty-five loci were organised in 17 linkage groups, whereas 19 remained unlinked.

Abstract
Ten pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) inbred lines were successfully differentiated by two-dimensional electrophoresis with immobilized pH gradients. Qualitative polymorphism of water-soluble and urea/detergent-soluble seed proteins, respectively, was investigated by computer analysis and used for establishing a dendrogram derived from maximum-parsimony analysis. The dendrogram calculated from urea/detergent-soluble proteins shows four types of distance indices, whereas water-soluble proteins show two sets of inbred lines with similar intraset distance indices. The validity of the dendrograms with respect to quantitative inherited traits, such as cold tolerance and earliness, will be tested by field trials.
