Research Abstract |
Hybrid lethality, observed in hybrid embryos and seedlings, is obstacle to introducing desirable genes into cultivars through wide crosses. In this study, genetic analysis on hybrid lethality observed in interspecific crosses between cultivated species and wild species of tobacco was conducted. We revealed that wild species has a single gene causing hybrid lethality by three-way crosses. We also revealed whether hybrid lethality is observed in crosses of many wild species with the cultivated species.
