Abstract excerpt
Viability and fertility in organisms depend on epistatic interactions between loci maintained in lineages. Here, we describe reduced fitness of segregants (hybrid breakdown, HB) that emerged in an F2 population derived from a cross between 2 rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, "Tachisugata" (TS) and "Hokuriku 193" (H193), despite both parents and F1s showing normal fitness. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses...
