Population size and the nature of genetic load in Gentianella germanica.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2003

Paland Susanne, Schmid Bernhard

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts a significant relationship between the size of a population and the magnitude and composition of its genetic load, but few natural populations have been investigated. We examined the magnitude of genetic load due to recessive deleterious alleles (GL) both segregating and fixed within Gentianella germanica populations of varying size by selfing and reciprocally crossing plants within and between...
