In this work, phenotypic and molecular events leading to plant height heterosis formation and sugarcane mosaic virus resistance were examined. Phenotypic investigations of heterosis revealed different reaction of inbred lines to environmental stress as compared to theis hybrids, as well as discrepancy in the architecture of inbreds and hybrids. Further on, molecular examination of both complex inherited traits, based on the usage of high-throughput microarray technology allowed the identification of single genes and gene expression patterns related to the questioned phenomena. Subsequent association of microarray approach with quantitative real-time PCR method demonstrated the potential and reliability of the combination of these two techniques in gene discovery.
