We made a whole genome survey of two-way interacting loci acting within the gametophyte or zygote using independence tests of marker segregations in an F ( 2 ) population from an intersubspecific cross between O sativa subspecies indica and japonica .
We detected only one reproducible interaction , and identified paralogous hybrid incompatibility genes , DOPPELGANGER1 ( DPL1 ) and DOPPELGANGER2 ( DPL2 ) , by positional cloning .
Independent disruptions of DPL1 and DPL2 occurred in indica and japonica , respectively .
DPLs encode highly conserved , plant-specific small proteins ( approximately 10 kDa ) and are highly expressed in mature anther .
Pollen carrying two defective DPL alleles became nonfunctional and did not germinate , suggesting an essential role for DPLs in pollen germination .
Although rice has many duplicated genes resulting from ancient whole genome duplication , the origin of this gene duplication was in recent small-scale gene duplication , occurring after Oryza-Brachypodium differentiation .
Comparative analyses suggested the geographic and phylogenetic distribution of these two defective alleles , showing that loss-of-function mutations of DPL1 genes emerged multiple times in indica and its wild ancestor , O rufipogon , and that the DPL2 gene defect is specific to japonica cultivars .
