Leaf chlorosis in Arabidopsis thaliana hybrids is associated with transgenerational decline and imbalanced ribosome number

What is it about?

Hybrid incompatibilites are negative outcomes of hybridization that can help us to understand adaptive evolution. We show that interaction of two epigenetically inherited genes cause hybrid chlorosis in A. thaliana. Furthermore, hybrid chlorosis was associated with imbalanced ratio of chloroplast to cytosolic ribosomes.
