Fig. 1From: Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals the molecular mechanism underlying seedling biomass heterosis in Brassica napusBiomass heterosis was identified in the hybrids in the T1 and T2 periods. A, B Total leaf area detected in hybrids with respect to their corresponding MPV at T1 and T2. C, D Fresh weight biomass discovered in hybrids and the MPV at T1 and T2. The data are displayed with mean ± standard deviation (SD), derived from the results of three biological replicates. AM, CM, HM, and HW were F1 hybrids. MPV: mid-parent value; T1:21 DAS; T2: 24 DAS; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001Back to article page
