The use of frozen semen to minimize inbreeding in small populations.
In this study, we compared the average coancestry and inbreeding levels for two genetic conservation schemes in which frozen semen from a gene bank is used to reduce the inbreeding in a live population. For a simple scheme in which only semen of generation-0 (G0) sires is used, the level of inbreeding asymptotes to 1/(2N), where N is the number of newborn sires in the base generation and rate o...
متن کاملEmbryonic inbreeding depression varies among populations and by mating system in Witheringia solanacea (Solanaceae).
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Embryonic inbreeding depression is a key influence on mating system evolution and can be difficult to estimate in self-incompatible species. A pollen chase experiment was used to estimate the magnitude of embryonic inbreeding depression in Costa Rican Witheringia solanacea, a species polymorphic for self-incompatibility (SI). In a pollen chase experiment, bud ...
متن کاملInbreeding depression in small populations of self-incompatible plants.
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a widespread mechanism that prevents inbreeding in flowering plants. In many species, SI is controlled by a single locus (the S locus) where numerous alleles are maintained by negative frequency-dependent selection. Inbreeding depression, the decline in fitness of selfed individuals compared to outcrossed ones, is an essential factor in the evolution of SI systems. ...
متن کاملInbreeding and juvenile mortality in small populations of ungulates.
Juvenile mortality of inbred young was higher than that of noninbred young in 15 of 16 species of captive ungulates. In 19 of 25 individual females, belonging to ten species, a larger percentage of young died when the female was mated to a related male than when she was mated to an unrelated male.
متن کاملBreeding With Chilled And Frozen Semen
Artificial Insemination (AI) involves the introduction of sperm into the reproductive tract of the mare without natural mating. AI in the horse was first practiced long ago. Ancient Arabian texts describe how mares were successfully inseminated. In the late 18th Century, an Italian scientist took the idea up again. He performed a series of studies in which he placed stallion semen in the snow a...
