Abstract excerpt
Understanding the genetic basis of reproductive barriers between species has been a central issue in evolutionary biology. The S1 locus in rice causes hybrid sterility and is a major reproductive barrier between two rice species, Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima The O. glaberrima-derived allele (denoted S1g) on the S1 locus causes preferential abortion of gametes with its allelic alternative (denoted S1s) in...
