Study Notes
- Inbreeding leads to an increase in homozygosity and a decrease in vigor.
- Hybrid vigor, or heterosis, is related to an increase in heterozygosity.
- Inbreeding is used to obtain homozygous individuals for pure lines and hybridization.
- Inbreeding depression is a reduction in vigor due to increased homozygosity.
- Inbreeding can result in homozygous recessive or dominant genotypes with valuable traits.
- Homozygous recessive forms can be easily recognized and eliminated.
- The degree of inbreeding is the proportion of homozygotes in consanguineous groups.
- Heterozygosity is reduced through successive generations of inbreeding until all genotypes become homozygous.
- The genotypic proportions change with each generation of inbreeding.
- Inbreeding can occur in plants with separate sexes when partners are related.
- Inbreeding leads to homozygosity and decreased genetic variability.
- Heterosis is achieved by crossing genetically different, inbred lines.
- Obtaining inbred lines involves choosing biological material, obtaining the lines, testing their combinative capacity, and producing F1 hybrids.
- Inbreeding involves self-fertilization for multiple generations.
- Self-incompatibility can make obtaining inbred lines difficult in some species.
- Once obtained, inbred lines can be crossed to find the best combinations for heterosis in the F1 generation.
- Combinative capacity of inbred lines is determined through dialel or cyclic hybridization with a common tester.
- Specific combining capacity is determined to identify the most valuable components for commercial hybrids.
- Double hybrids are preferred for safer and cheaper seed production.
- Production of double hybrids can be specified based on the production of simple hybrids.
