Heterosis for capsacinoids accumulation in chili pepper hybrids is dependent on parent-of-origin effect
Abstract Heterosis for agronomic traits is a widespread phenomenon that underpins hybrid crop breeding. However, heterosis at the level of cellular metabolites has not yet been fully explored. Some metabolites are highly sought after, like capsaicinoids found in peppers of the Capsicum genus, which...
