Abstract: Heterosis would be a well known genetic phenomenon in the fields of biology, which has been successfully exploited on breeding of many plants and animals, but the genetic basis of heterosis might still remain uncertainly puzzles by far. In this paper, the mechanisms of heterosis were reviewed, some new opinions about genetic basis of heterosis were summed up on the base of the classical theories and hypothesis on the genetic mechanisms of heterosis. Discuss the relationship of the heterosis between heterosis group and molecular mark. Finally this paper has looked forward to the direction of heterosis.

Key words: Heterosis, Genetic basis
