Inbreeding depression in crambe1 [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2016 ABSTRACT Inbreeding depression in plants, caused by selfing or crossing among plants with a high degree of relatedness, is a genetic phenomenon that affects quantitative traits. This study aimed at verifying the occurrence of inbreeding depression in crambe progenies originated from selfing, in comparison with open pollination progenies.

Inbreeding depression due to recent and ancient inbreeding in Dutch Holstein–Friesian dairy cattle
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019 Background Inbreeding decreases animal performance (inbreeding depression), but not all inbreeding is expected to be equally harmful. Recent inbreeding is expected to be more harmful than ancient inbreeding, because selection decreases the frequency of ...

Inbreeding depression for kit survival at birth in a rabbit population under long-term selection
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2020 Background Accumulation of detrimental mutations in small populations leads to inbreeding depression of fitness traits and a higher frequency of genetic defects, thus increasing risk of extinction.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Parental care has been shown to reduce the magnitude of inbreeding depression in some species with facultative care. However, parents often vary in the quality or amount of care they provide to their offspring, and it is less clear whether this variation

Animals, 2023 This study provides comprehensive results on the current status of inbreeding depression for traits upon which sheep are selected for the herdbook in Germany. A total of 30 sheep breeds from the OviCap national database met the inclusion criteria for the

The effect of sheltered load on reproduction in Solanum carolinense, a species with variable self-incompatibility [PDF]
, 2009 In previous studies, we have investigated the strength of self-incompatibility (SI) in Solanum carolinense, a highly successful weed with a fully functional SI system that inhabits early successional and other disturbed habitats.

A multivariate analysis with direct additive and inbreeding depression load effects
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019 Background Inbreeding is caused by mating between related individuals and its most common consequence is inbreeding depression. Several studies have detected heterogeneity in inbreeding depression among founder individuals, and recently a procedure for ...

Biparental inbreeding depression, genetic relatedness and progeny vigor in a wind-pollinated treeline species in Argentina [PDF]
, 2009 Spatially restricted gene flow and resulting spatial genetic structure are generally considered as being the primary controlling factors in the dynamics of biparental inbreeding depression in a wide range of plant species.

A general stochastic model for sporophytic self-incompatibility [PDF]
, 2011 Disentangling the processes leading populations to extinction is a major topic in ecology and conservation biology. The difficulty to find a mate in many species is one of these processes.

Predictive Model and Software for Inbreeding-Purging Analysis of Pedigreed Populations
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 The inbreeding depression of fitness traits can be a major threat to the survival of populations experiencing inbreeding. However, its accurate prediction requires taking into account the genetic purging induced by inbreeding, which can be achieved using
