Heterosis performance of H318 at the seedling stage. A Phenotype of H318 and its parental lines at the seedling stage. H318 showed obvious growth heterosis at the seedling stage relative to its parental lines. Bar = 5 cm. B Fresh and dry weight of H318 and its parental lines. Values with different letters are considered statistically significant (shortest significant range; P < 0.05). C Cotyledon area of H318 and its parental lines from the 6th to 14th day after sowing (DAS). Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001) by Student’s t test
