Beyond Parental Limits: The Role of Transgressive Segregation in Modern Plant Breeding
Athira Sunil & Lovely B · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2025
Transgressive segregation (TS), where progeny traits exceed the parental range, is a pivotal mechanism for genetic gain in plant breeding, crucial for addressing global food security. This review examines the genetic basis of TS, driven by complementary gene action, epistasis, an...
