Genetic expression is notably altered and frequently dysregulated in interspecific hybrids due to factors like cis-trans regulatory divergence and introgression.
The provided papers include direct evidence that interspecific hybrids experience novel gene expression patterns and dysregulation (Paper 11), as well as gene expression divergence resulting from hybridization (Paper 9). The other papers discuss general transcriptomics, plant stress, or genome assemblies without focusing on interspecific hybrids. Therefore, the claim is supported.
