Transposable elements in inbreeding and outbreeding populations.
Y OUNG et al. (1994) recently found that a putative transposable element (Lytl) is present at high abundance in the genomes of individuals sampled from a group of red-fruited species of Lycopersicon, and at a much lower abundance in green-fruited species of this genus. Similar or somewhat lower abundances were found in Solanum species believed to be closely related to Lycopersicon, and even low...

متن کاملInbreeding and outbreeding depression in Caenorhabditis nematodes.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans reproduces primarily by self-fertilization of hermaphrodites, yet males are present at low frequencies in natural populations (androdioecy). The ancestral state of C. elegans was probably gonochorism (separate males and females), as in its relative C. remanei. Males may be maintained in C. elegans because outcrossed individuals escape inbreeding depression. T...
متن کاملInbreeding and Outbreeding Depression in Natural Populations of Chamaecrista fasciculata (Fabaceae)
The deleterious consequences of inbreeding have been well documented. There are, however, few empirical studies that have examined the consequences of restoring heterozygosity and hence the fitness of inbred populations by conducting interpopulation crosses and measuring the performance of later-generation hybrids under field conditions. We conducted interpopulation crosses of 100 m to 2000 km,...
متن کاملEvolution and extinction of transposable elements in Mendelian populations.
A model of the evolution of a transposable element family in a Mendelian host population is proposed that incorporates heritable phenotypic mutations in the elements. The temporal behavior of the numbers of mutant and wild-type elements is studied, and the expected extinction time of the transposable element family is examined. Our results indicate that, if the mutant can be transposed equally ...
