Evidence for the partial dominance of viability genes contributing to inbreeding depression in Mimulus guttatus.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1994

Fu Y B, Ritland K

Abstract excerpt

The relative importance of different modes of gene expression of viability genes contributing to inbreeding depression was investigated in the wild plant, Mimulus guttatus. Viability genes were identified by self-fertilizing 31 outbred plants, each heterozygous for three to nine unlinked allozyme...
