Outline of Final Research Achievements	During sexual reproduction, a suitable partner is selected through the adaptive or conflictive interaction between the male and female genomes, which also determines the final phenotype of each offspring. Molecular dissection of these correlative gene systems is important, but the actual interacting genes are largely unknown. In this study we showed that the genome-wide association study is useful to dissect such correlative gene systems.
