Ribosomal RNA-encoding DNA introgression across a narrow hybrid zone between two subspecies of grasshopper
M L Arnold et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1987 Jun.
Abstract
A ribosomal RNA-encoding DNA (rDNA) cloned sequence, consisting of a 0.8-kilobase fragment from the 26S/nontranscribed spacer region, was used to identify diagnostic restriction enzyme fragments that distinguish the Moreton and Torresian subspecies of the grasshopper Caledia captiva. These restriction fragments were then used to study patterns of rDNA variation across a narrow geographical hybrid zone between the two subspecies. The pattern of rDNA variation that emerged after the analysis of over 250 individuals clearly demonstrates the asymmetrical introgression of the Moreton ribosomal RNA genes into the Torresian subspecies. This asymmetric movement of genetic material occurs even though there exists extreme postmating F(2) and backcross inviability between the two subspecies. From our data, as well as those of previous chromosomal and allozymic studies, we are able to support the occurrence of nonrandom processes such as biased gene conversion and/or natural selection. Because the rDNA loci in the Moreton and Torresian individuals are located in different regions on chromosomes 10 and 11, it should be possible to determine the relative contributions of conversion, natural selection, and these sorts of processes to the pattern of introgression of the Moreton rDNA into the Torresian subspecies.
