Introduction

Lethalityinspecieshybridsisamajormechanismofisolation

andhelpstosplitonespeciesintotwoinbothanimalsand

plants(OrrandPresgraves,2000;BurkeandArnold,2001).

TheprocessinvolvesamitoticdefectinDrosophila(Orretal.,

1997),andprogrammedcelldeath(PCD)controlledbytem-

perature(Yamadaetal.,2001;Minoetal.,2002)andoxidative

burstinthegenusNicotiana(Minoetal.,2004,2005).Thus,

themechanismwhichinducescelldeathmaybeamajorcause

ofhybridlethality,andathoroughunderstandingofthecell

deathprocesswillbeimportantforanalyzingthegenesimpli-

catedinexpressionoflethality.WehavepreviouslyreportedthatcelldeathintheF1hybridof

NicotianagosseiDomin×N.tabacumL.involvedPCD,inwhich

hydrogenperoxide(H2O2)actsasamajormediator(Minoet

al.,2002,2004,2005).However,themechanismswhichcon-

trolthegenerationofreactiveoxygenintermediates(ROI)and

reportedthatH2O2isamajorsignallingmoleculeevokinghy-

persensitiveresponse(HR)celldeathinplantsinfectedwith

pathogens(GrantandLoake,2000;Pellinenetal.,2002).PCD

tivationofeffectorcomponentsofthecell’sapoptoticmachin-

eryviaadropinthecytosolicpH(PervaizandClément,2002).

ItwasreportedthatHRcelldeathcausedbyROIoccurred

downstreamofadisruptionoftheredoxbalanceinthecell,

andtheprocesswasunderthecontrolofamitogen-activated

proteinkinase(MAPK)cascade(Renetal.,2002).Thebasic

assemblyoftheMAPKcascadeisathree-kinasemoduleinall

eukaryotes.MAPK,thelastkinaseinthethree-kinasecascade,

whoseThrandTyrresiduesinaTXYmotifarephosphorylated

2005).Studiesoftobaccoleavesinfectedbytobaccomosaic

virusindicatedthatbothSIPKandWIPKwereactivatedbyan

Nresistancegene,precedingHRcelldeath(ZhangandKlessig,

1998).However,itwasreportedthatSIPKaloneisenoughto

evidenceforaroleforMAPKinHRcelldeathwasobtainedin

tobaccousingasteroid-inducibletransientassayofNtMEK2DD

(ZhangandLiu,2001;Jinetal.,2003).TheNtMEK2DD,inwhich

theconservedThr227andSer233weresubstitutedwithAsp

andthismutantproteineventuallyactivatesendogenousSIPK

andWIPKwithoutanupstreamsignallingcue(Jinetal.,2003).
