Two subspecies in rice, japonica and indica, have their own ecotypic traits. However, reproductive barriers such as spikelet sterility in hybrid progenies between subspecies have been an obstacle in breeding programs for combining desirable traits from both subspecies through inter-subspecific hybridization. The 166 F-9 RILs and two BC(1)F(1)s' were analyzed for spikelet and pollen fertility with the parents and F-1 between Dasanbyeo (DS, indica) / TR22183 (TR, japonica). A frame map was constructed using a total of 218 polymorphic STS and SSR markers. In both BC(1)F(1)s' of DS//DS/TR and TR//DS/TR, clusters of significant QTLs for spikelet and pollen fertility were identified on the short arm of chromosome 5 and chromosome 8. Nine and ten digenic epistatic interactions for DS//DS/TR and TR//DS//TR were identified, respectively. HF-QTLs were detected at the similar position with subspecies-specific markers and segregation distortion loci, implying that HF-QTLs might be associated with the differentiation of indica and japonica. Hybrid fertility/sterility and its relationship with other traits are discussed in relation to the reproductive barriers between subspecies of rice.
