Epistasis and hybrid sterility in Saccharomyces.
Hybrid sterility is thought to be due to deleterious epistatic interactions between genes from different species. Here we demonstrate that dominant genic incompatibility does not contribute to sterility in hybrids between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and five closely related species. Sterile diploids were made fertile by genome doubling to produce hybrid tetraploids. Based on these and previous res...
متن کاملComplex epistasis and the genetic basis of hybrid sterility in the Drosophila pseudoobscura Bogota-USA hybridization.
We analyzed the genetic basis of postzygotic isolation between the Bogota and USA subspecies of Drosophila pseudoobscura. These subspecies diverged very recently (perhaps as recently as 155,000 to 230,000 years ago) and are partially reproductively isolated: Bogota and USA show very little prezygotic isolation but form sterile F1 males in one direction of the hybridization. We dissected the bas...
متن کاملEpistasis among Drosophila persimilis Factors Conferring Hybrid Male Sterility with D. pseudoobscura bogotana
The Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller model posits that hybrid incompatibilities result from genetic changes that accumulate during population divergence. Indeed, much effort in recent years has been devoted to identifying genes associated with hybrid incompatibilities, often with limited success, suggesting that hybrid sterility and inviability are frequently caused by complex interactions between mul...
متن کاملGenomic Networks of Hybrid Sterility
Hybrid dysfunction, a common feature of reproductive barriers between species, is often caused by negative epistasis between loci ("Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities"). The nature and complexity of hybrid incompatibilities remain poorly understood because identifying interacting loci that affect complex phenotypes is difficult. With subspecies in the early stages of speciation, an array of ge...
متن کاملTheodosius Dobzhansky on Hybrid Sterility and Speciation.
It is a truth universally acknowledged thatGenetics and the Origin of Species, Theodosius Dobzhansky’s acclaimed 1937 book, launched the modern evolutionary synthesis, characterized by uniting the findings of genetics with the facts of natural history. Dobzhansky’s title deliberately contained Darwin’s, as the book discussed a problem broached but not solved by On the Origin of Species (Darwin ...
