Predicting heterosis via genetic distance and the number of SNPs in selected segments of chromosomes in maize

A reliable method is needed for predicting heterosis to help maize (Zea mays L.) breeders develop new hybrids more efficiently. The objectives of this study were to 1) investigate if the numbers of selected PEUS SNPs (the SNP in the Promoters (1 kb upstream of the start codon), Exons, Untranslated r...
