Domestication reshaped the genetic basis of inbreeding depression in a maize landrace compared to its wild relative, teosinte.

Domestication reshaped the genetic basis of inbreeding depression in a maize landrace compared to its wild relative, teosinte.

Inbreeding depression is the reduction in fitness and vigor resulting from mating of close relatives observed in many plant and animal species. The extent to which the genetic load of mutations contributing to inbreeding depression is due to large-effect mutations versus variants with very small ind...
