The Next Generation of Rice: Inter-Subspecific Indica-Japonica Hybrid Rice
Rice (Oryza sativa) is an important food crop and has two subspecies, indica and japonica. Since the last century, four generations of rice varieties have been applied to rice production.

A CRISPR-Cas9-Derived Male Sterility System for Tomato Breeding
Male sterility can reduce cost and enable high seed purity during hybrid seed production. However, the commercial application of male sterility in hybrid seed production has not been widely used in tomatoes.

Prospects of utilization of inter-subspecific heterosis between indica and japonica rice
The Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown worldwide is divided into two subspecies, indica and japonica. It is well known that the heterosis of inter-subspecies is usually stronger than that of intra-subspecies.

Epistasis among Drosophila persimilis factors conferring hybrid male sterility with D. pseudoobscura bogotana. [PDF]
The Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller model posits that hybrid incompatibilities result from genetic changes that accumulate during population divergence.

Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) are a commercially important bivalve species for fisheries and aquaculture in China, the USA, Peru and Chile, but their small size and serious inbreeding depression restrict the sustainable development of their ...

Studies on the cold tolerance of ratoon ‘Chaling’ common wild rice
Background Rice is the staple food of many people around the world. However, most rice varieties, especially widely grown indica varieties and hybrids, are sensitive to cold stress.

Epistasis and hybrid sterility inSaccharomyces [PDF]
Hybrid sterility is thought to be due to deleterious epistatic interactions between genes from different species. Here we demonstrate that dominant genic incompatibility does not contribute to sterility in hybrids between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and five closely related species.

SEX-LINKED HYBRID STERILITY IN A BUTTERFLY [PDF]
Recent studies, primarily in Drosophila, have greatly advanced our understanding of Haldane's rule, the tendency for hybrid sterility or inviability to affect primarily the heterogametic sex (Haldane 1922). Although dominance theory (Turelli and Orr 1995) has been proposed as a general explanation of Haldane's rule, this remains to be tested in female ...

Pollen- and Seed-Sterility in Hybrids [PDF]
Sterility of hybrids in various forms and degrees is a phenomenon so frequently presented to the plant breeder and geneticist that in some form and in some degree it is rather to be expected. The first problem in its study demands a critical examination to determine in the life history the place of those conditions that bring about the sterility in ...

A novel approach identifying hybrid sterility QTL on the autosomes of Drosophila simulans and D. mauritiana. [PDF]
When species interbreed, the hybrid offspring that are produced are often sterile. If only one hybrid sex is sterile, it is almost always the heterogametic (XY or ZW) sex.
