Abstract

Identifying and using heterotic loci in breeding programs is crucial for increasing crop yield. In this study, we planted 68 inbred lines and their 132 testcrosses at Wuhan and **. Our findings may contribute a better understanding to rapeseed breeding and the natural variations of HI heterosis.
