| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Inviability of hybrids, often referred to as hybrid lethality, is frequently observed in crosses between normal parental plants. Hybrid lethality can be an obstacle to the introduction of desirable genes into cultivated species by wide hybridization. In the present study, using F2 population, we mapped a causal gene of hybrid lethality, HLA1, in Nicotiana. We also revealed that lethal phenotypes and the mechanisms were different among crosses between six accessions of N. occidentalis and N. tabacum. Furthermore, we also analyzed a phenomenon where viable hybrids are frequently observed in lethal crosses.
