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
celldeathinaninterspecifichybridarenotclear.Ithasbeen
reportedthatH2O2isamajorsignallingmoleculeevokinghy-
persensitiveresponse(HR)celldeathinplantsinfectedwith
pathogens(GrantandLoake,2000;Pellinenetal.,2002).PCD
inanimalcellsoccurswhenincreasedlevelsofH2O2leadtoac-
tivationofeffectorcomponentsofthecell’sapoptoticmachin-
eryviaadropinthecytosolicpH(PervaizandClément,2002).
ItwasreportedthatHRcelldeathcausedbyROIoccurred
downstreamofadisruptionoftheredoxbalanceinthecell,
andtheprocesswasunderthecontrolofamitogen-activated
proteinkinase(MAPK)cascade(Renetal.,2002).Thebasic
assemblyoftheMAPKcascadeisathree-kinasemoduleinall
eukaryotes.MAPK,thelastkinaseinthethree-kinasecascade,
whoseThrandTyrresiduesinaTXYmotifarephosphorylated
byMAPKkinase(MEK).MEKis,inturn,activatedbyMAPKK

andwounding-inducedproteinkinase(WIPK),wereactivated
inculturedcellsorplantstreatedwithanelicitororinfected
withapathogen(delPozoetal.,2004;PedleyandMartin,
2005).Studiesoftobaccoleavesinfectedbytobaccomosaic
virusindicatedthatbothSIPKandWIPKwereactivatedbyan
Nresistancegene,precedingHRcelldeath(ZhangandKlessig,
1998).However,itwasreportedthatSIPKaloneisenoughto
activatethesedefenceresponses(ZhangandLiu,2001).Direct
evidenceforaroleforMAPKinHRcelldeathwasobtainedin
tobaccousingasteroid-inducibletransientassayofNtMEK2DD
(ZhangandLiu,2001;Jinetal.,2003).TheNtMEK2DD,inwhich
theconservedThr227andSer233weresubstitutedwithAsp
(D),hasmuchhigherkinaseactivitythanwild-typeprotein,
andthismutantproteineventuallyactivatesendogenousSIPK
andWIPKwithoutanupstreamsignallingcue(Jinetal.,2003).
