Roles for polyploidy, circadian rhythms, and stress responses in hybrid vigor

Hybrid plants and animals, like corn and the domestic dog, grow larger and more vigorously than their parents, a common phenomenon known as hybrid vigor or heterosis. In hybrids between Arabidopsis ecotypes or species (in allotetraploids), altered expression of circadian clock genes leads to increas...
