Hybridizations involving different species are often hindered because of incompatibility reactions. Although these reproductive barriers have been observed in many plant species, the underlying mechanisms remain to be comprehensively elucidated. In this study, we detected a hybridization barrier between apple (Malus×domestica) and pear (Pyrusspp.) belonging to different genera in the subtribe Malinae of the family Rosaceae. Pollination experiments revealed thatPyrus pyrifolia(Japanese pear) pollen is compatible withMaluspistils, whereasPyrus communis(European pear) pollen is not. These results imply there is a distinct cross-(in)compatibility reaction occurring inPyrusspecies. Based on the varying pollen tube behaviors amongPyrusspecies, genetic analysis was conducted to identify the genomic region responsible for the intergeneric barrier.Malus–Pyrusintergeneric hybrids were used to detect distorted segregation regions by combining genome sequencing and fine-scale genotyping data. We defined a single locus on chromosome 5, in whichP. pyrifolia-derived alleles were exclusively inherited to the intergeneric hybrids from thePyrusinterspecific hybrid. Of the 235 genes in this genomic region, 80 exhibited a specific pollen-expression pattern, including genes involved in self-incompatibility reactions. These candidate genes are herein discussed regarding their possible functions related to reproductive isolation.
