Abstract excerpt
Plant hybridization is a pathway for the evolution of adaptive traits. However, hybridization between adapted and nonadapted populations may affect the persistence of combinations of adaptive alleles evolved through natural selection. Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait for weedy rice because it regulates the timing of seed germination and the persistence of the soil seed bank. Hybridization between weedy and...
