Outline of Final Research Achievements

Rhododendron sect. Brachycalyx is a diverse plant genus in Japan. Three species distributed in the South Kanto District forms hybrid zones around Mt. Fuji and Izu Peninsula. Genetic analysis revealed three genetic component corresponding with each species, and hybrid swarm in the hybrid zones. In contrast, genetically hybrid individuals sometimes showed flower morphology of pure species. They suggests, in the hybrid zones of the sect. Brachycalyx, divergent selection, positive selection on pure species' traits, may maintain species entities.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

植物においては種間交雑が頻繁に生じ、ときに交雑帯を形成する。近年、こうした交雑帯は、雑種種分化や生殖隔離の強化などを通じ、植物の種分化過程において重要な役割を担っていると考えられている。本研究ではミツバツツジ類交雑帯における分断化選択可能性、種の維持機構を明らかとし、学術的意義が大きい。また、フォッサマグナ地域は地域固有種の宝庫であり、この地域における種分化に焦点を当てた本研究は、地域自然誌にも貢献している。
