Abstract

Evidence from an experiment involving interspecific hybrids of Melilotus suggested that several genes causing isolating barriers, such as hybrid breakdown and non-crossability, are located on rearranged segments. In general, reproductive barriers were controlled by complementary or duplicate genes. The fixation of such genes within a population is possibly promoted when they are linked with the breakage points of rearrangements.
