Predicting the regulatory process of heterosis formation during the inflorescence meristem period. Auxin may contribute to hybrid heterosis during maize ear development. Additive, non-additive, and allele-specific expression patterns may fine-tune the expression of crucial genes that control auxin metabolism and IM development to an optimal level, and this may be responsible for maize ear heterosis formation in hybrids
