Inbreeding depression and genetic variability in agricultural traits and resistance to phytopathogens in exotic maize populations

The effect known as depression by inbreeding refers to the reduction on the average value of quantitative traits, related to plant reproduction and physiology, due to the homozygosis of deleterious alleles.  This study evaluated the inbreeding depression and the genetic variability of agricultural t...
