Small RNA-based prediction of hybrid performance in maize

Small RNA-based prediction of hybrid performance in maize

Abstract Background Small RNA (sRNA) sequences are known to have a broad impact on gene regulation by various mechanisms. Their performance for the prediction of hybrid traits has not yet been analyzed. Our objective was to analyze the relation of parental sRNA expression with the performance of the...
