Genomic structural variation-mediated allelic suppression causes hybrid male sterility in rice

A reproductive barrier between japonica and indica rice subspecies hinders hybrid breeding. Here, the authors reveal that structural and copy number variations of a pollen-essential gene, which encodes a DUF1618-domain protein, result in allelic suppression and subsequently cause hybrid male sterili...
