Taming wild genomes: perspectives on mechanisms governing differential introgression in exotic rice germplasm and their applications in breeding by Avinash Shrestha, Christian J. Stephens, Rosalyn B. Angeles-Shim

“…The primary challenge in wide hybridization is the presence of reproductive barriers and genetic incompatibilities that limit the transfer of desirable wild or distant alleles in the genetic background of cultivated plant species. Here we provide perspectives on the possible role of hybrid sterility and gametocidal genes on the observed preferential introgression in exotic germplasm of rice. …”
