the early end of growth means that each plant produces fewer fruits than their home garden cousins.
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) researchers revealed one genetic mechanism for hybrid vigoror heterosis, as biologists call itthat can be modified in the production tomato bushes to increase crop yields. Hybrid vigor involves interbreeding genetically distinct plants to generate offspring more robust than either inbred parent.
By teasing out the hidden subtleties of a type of hybrid vigor
