Definition of heterosis in English:

heterosis

noun ˌhɛtəˈrəʊsɪsˌhedəˈrōsəs

technical term for hybrid vigour
Example sentencesExamples
- Genetic background, heterosis, and sex differences can all have profound effects on chiasma and recombination frequencies.
- Traditionally the issue of heterosis has been posed in genetic terms such as dominance and overdominance.
- With overdominance, unlike alleles are postulated to result in a stimulating effect, so that genetic heterozygosity per se produces heterosis.
- The fixation of deleterious mutations may be a general explanation for heterosis in crosses between ecotypes, despite alternative overdominance interpretations.
- The fundamental genetic and physiological causes of heterosis remain poorly understood in plants after nearly a century of exploitation in crop improvement.

Origin

Early 20th century: from Greek heterōsis 'alteration', from heteros 'other'.
