This publication contains the proceedings of National Symposium Harnessing Heterosis in Crop Plants. Most of the chapters in this book are based on the presentations made during the event however a few chapters are also included with the aim to cover emerging issues. India is credited with the release of first commercial hybrids of several crops. Status and prospects of hybrid research in economically important crop plants are highlighted in chapter 1. Advancement in molecular techniques has been of tremendous utility in studying the mechanism of biological phenomenon. Availability management and assessment of Plant Genetic Resources (PGRs) provide platform to execute plant breeding including heterosis breeding. These aspects are described in chapters 2 3 4 5 and 6. Heterosis breeding has played a significant role in increasing productivity of a number of crops. Research aspects and prospects on parental line development hybrid development and their seed production in such crops are dealt in chapters 7 (sorghum) 8 (pearl millet) 9 (cotton) 10 (castor) 11 (Solanaceous vegetables) 12 (cucurbits and Cole crops) 13 (fruit and plantation crops) and 14 (ornamental crops). There are several non conventional crops where hybrid technology is at initial stage.…
