Dynamic roles of small RNAs and DNA methylation associated with heterosis in allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
Abstract Background Heterosis is a complex phenomenon wherein the hybrids outperform their parents. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanism by which hybridization leads to higher yields in allopolyploid cotton is critical for effective breeding programs. Here, we integrated DNA methylation,...
