Heterosis is mainly the result of non-additive genetic effects. It is defined as the difference between the average phenotype of the F1 progeny minus the average of the parental lines. If heterosis is caused by dominance, the values of heterosis are proportional to the loss of heterozygosity, which in turn is defined as the average fraction of the...
