A selfish gene governing pollen-pistil compatibility confers reproductive isolation between maize relatives.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2006

Kermicle Jerry L

Abstract excerpt

Some populations of maize's closest relatives, the annual teosintes of Mexico, are unreceptive to maize pollen. When present in the pistil (silk and ovary) a number of maize genes discriminate against or exclude pollen not carrying the same allele. An analogous gene Tcb1-s was found in some teosinte populations but not in sympatric or parapatric maize. It was polymorphic among populations of teosinte growing...
