ABSTRACT
Plant heterosis has been recognized as being primarily dependent on the genetics of contrasting parents. However, in recent work, Liu et al. describe 'endophytic microbiome-induced heterosis', showing distinct and diverse seed microbiomes in hybrids, which boosted seed germination compared with their parents. Here, we discuss the possible impact of this finding for sustainable agriculture.
