Abstract

Our limited understanding of the hybrid sterility (HS) mechanism in Asian–African rice hybrids hampers utilization of the interspecific heterosis for rice production. Here, the authors identify S1-mediated HS-related tripartite gamete killer-protector system, and explore their evolutionary relationship.
