A quantitative model of the relationship between phenotypic variance and heterozygosity at marker loci under partial selfing.

Genetics - 1 Nov 1999

Abstract excerpt

Negative relationships between allozyme heterozygosity and morphological variance have often been observed and interpreted as evidence for increased developmental stability in heterozygotes. However, inbreeding can also generate such relationships by decreasing heterozygosity at neutral loci and redistributing genetic variance at the same time. I here provide a quantitative genetic model of this process by...
