📢 Issue 22, our final issue of 2025, is out now 📢 🌾 On the cover: Heterosis has been shown to increase seed yield, produce bigger seeds, reduce germination time and make seeds more tolerant/resistant. See Belcapo et al. 📝 🔗👉 Read the full issue now: academic.oup.com/jxb... #PlantScience 🧪
The cover of Vol 76 | Issue 22 | 2025 of the Journal of Experimental Botany. Yellow banners border the top and bottom of the page and in the centre is Fig. 2. from Belcapo et al. pp. 6619–6633. Seed traits affected by heterosis. Heterosis is a complex process involved in different traits at different developmental stages of the plant. At seed stage, it has been shown that heterosis can impact: (A) seed yield by increasing it; (B) seed size by leading to the production of bigger seeds; (C) seed germination by obtaining seeds with a reduced germination time; and (D) response to environmental stresses by making seeds more tolerant/resistant.
