Comparative transcriptome analysis between inbred lines and hybrids provides molecular insights into K+ content heterosis of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.)

Potassium (K+) is essential for crop growth. Increasing the K+ content can often directly promote the improvement of crop yield and quality. Heterosis plays an important role in genetic improvement and leads to genetic gains. We found that the K+ content of tobacco showed significant heterosis, whic...
