Hybrid Vigor and Epigenetic Inheritance

Hybrid Vigor

Hybrid vigor, also known as heterosis, is a phenomenon examined in relation to selective breeding and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance [1]. Charles Darwin was aware of heterosis [1]. The Green Revolution, associated with Norman Borlaug, has been cited as a demonstration of heterosis [1].

Research has explored hybrid vigor in conjunction with transgenerational epigenetic effects on early mouse embryo phenotype [2].
