Reproductive isolation plays an important role in speciation as it restricts gene flow and accelerates genetic divergence between formerly interbreeding population. In rice, hybrid breakdown is a common reproductive isolation observed in both intra and inter-specific crosses. It is a type of post-zygotic reproductive isolation in which sterility and weakness are manifested in the F2and later generations. In this study, the physiological and molecular basis of hybrid breakdown caused by two recessive genes,hbd2andhbd3, in a cross betweenjaponicavariety, Koshihikari, andindicavariety, Habataki, were investigated. Fine mapping ofhbd2resulted in the identification of the causal gene ascasein kinase I(CKI1). Further analysis revealed thathbd2-CKI1 allele gains its deleterious function that causes the weakness phenotype by a change of one amino acid. As for the other gene,hbd3was mapped to theNBS-LRRgene cluster region. It is the most common class ofR-gene that triggers the immune signal in response to pathogen attack. Expression analysis of pathogen response marker genes suggested that weakness phenotype in this hybrid breakdown can be attributed to an autoimmune response. So far, this is the first evidence linking autoimmune response to post-zygotic isolation in rice. This finding provides a new insight in understanding the molecular and evolutionary mechanisms establishing post-zygotic isolation in plants.
