Abstract: The heterosis utilization is an effective way to increase crop yield and quality.In the early 20th century, heterosis was mainly explained with dominant hypothesis and superdominance hypothesis .With the development of modern biology, heterosis phenomenon was researched more deeply. New insights of genetic basis of heterosis in sugarbeet at home and abroad were summarized from four aspects, such as the effect of active gene and heterosis, genetic distance and heterosis, genetic linkage map construction and heterosis quantitative trait loci (QTL) and heterosis. The current research progress of heterosis utilization in sugarbeet were reviewed from Breeding theory of heterosis, male sterile line (MS), the breeding of inbred lines, and the breeding of sugarbeet varieties of male sterility, etc. The research direction of heterosis breeding in sugarbeet in the future was prospected in the end.
