Light regulation of metabolic mid-parent heterosis (MPH) in maize. A Pie chart showing the relative composition of metabolites under various light conditions. B-C Boxplots showing the distribution of MPH for each known metabolite under various light conditions. MPH = 100% × (F1 − A)/A, where F1 is the metabolite accumulation in hybrids, and A is the average parental accumulation of metabolites. D Relationship between metabolites and maize MPH. BM and MB represent the F1 hybrids B73 × Mo17 and Mo17 × B73, respectively. “ − ” represents negative MPH; “ + ” represents positive MPH; ** represents a significant difference at P < 0.01; * represents a significant difference at P < 0.05 (one-sample t-test)
