Reproductive Compatibility Within and Among Spruce Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Populations [PDF]
, 2017 Spruce bud worm moths collected as larvae from two species of host trees in four populations were mated in single pairs in two years. In 1980 but not 1981, more of the intra-population matings than the inter-population matings were fertile.

Rickettsia induces strong cytoplasmic incompatibility in a predatory insect. [PDF]
Proc Biol SciRickettsia , a group of intracellular bacteria found in eukaryotes, exhibits diverse lifestyles, with some acting as vertebrate pathogens transmitted by arthropod vectors and others serving as maternally transmitted arthropod endosymbionts, some of which manipulate host reproduction for their own benefit. Two phenotypes, namely

Over-expression of an S-domain receptor-like kinase extracellular domain improves panicle architecture and grain yield in rice. [PDF]
, 2015 The S-domain receptor kinase (SRK) comprises a highly polymorphic subfamily of receptor-like kinases (RLKs) originally found to be involved in the self-incompatibility response in Brassica.

Cardinium symbionts cause cytoplasmic incompatibility in spider mites [PDF]
Heredity, 2006 Intracellular symbiotic bacteria belonging to the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides lineage have recently been described and are widely distributed in arthropod species. The newly discovered bacteria, named Cardinium sp, cause the expression of various reproductive alterations in their arthropod hosts, including cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI ...

EVOLUTION OF WOLBACHIA CYTOPLASMIC INCOMPATIBILITY TYPES [PDF]
Evolution, 2004 The success of obligate endosymbiotic Wolbachia infections in insects is due in part to cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), whereby Wolbachia bacteria manipulate host reproduction to promote their invasion and persistence within insect populations. The observed diversity of CI types raises the question of what the evolutionary pathways are by which a new

Does pupal communication influence Wolbachia -mediated cytoplasmic incompatibility? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Wolbachia are widespread endosymbiotic bacteria found in terrestrial arthropods and filarial nematodes [1]. In insects, Wolbachia generally rely on diverse strategies to manipulate their host's reproduction and favor their own vertical transmission through infected eggs [2]. One such mechanism is a sterility syndrome called 'cytoplasmic incompatibility'

An elusive endosymbiont: Does Wolbachia occur naturally in Aedes aegypti?
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria found within many insect species. Aedes mosquitoes experimentally infected with Wolbachia are being released into the field for Aedes‐borne disease control.

The coevolution of toxin and antitoxin genes drives the dynamics of bacterial addiction complexes and intragenomic conflict [PDF]
, 2012 Bacterial genomes commonly contain ‘addiction’ gene complexes that code for both a toxin and a corresponding antitoxin. As long as both genes are expressed, cells carrying the complex can remain healthy.
