High genetic load in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2001

Launey S, Hedgecock D

Abstract excerpt

The causes of inbreeding depression and the converse phenomenon of heterosis or hybrid vigor remain poorly understood despite their scientific and agricultural importance. In bivalve molluscs, related phenomena, marker-associated heterosis and distortion of marker segregation ratios, have been widely reported over the past 25 years. A large load of deleterious recessive mutations could explain both phenomena,...
