To be genetically viable , having a realistic chance of avoiding the problems of inbreeding , a population of plants or animal s requires a certain amount of genetic diversity , and consequently a certain minimum number of members. See effective population size . The minimum is normally somewhere in the region of a hundred unrelated individuals. Where a population has become extremely small in a population bottleneck , due for example to near extinction of the species , it may have lost its genetic viability, and if numbers recover it will be through inbreeding, possibly leaving an unhealthy population.

The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom is a book on evolution in plants by Charles Darwin , first published in 1876. In this book Darwin examines the effects of heterosis cross and self pollination self fertilisation of plants and provides experimental evidence for a hypothesis stated in his famed book of 1859, Origin of Species , that ... in none i.e. plant ... can self fertilisation go on for perpetuity Origin , p. 101 . He reports on experiments conducted on over 60 different species of plants, where he used controlled pollinations in order to produce self fertilised and cross fertilised descendants. Through growth experiments of this progeny, he concluded that self fertilised progeny performed poorer in most species and for most traits measured. Thus he showed that inbreeding may have severe detrimental effects on progeny. While this idea was accepted by many, e.g. plant and animal breeders, Darwin s book provided overwhelming experimental support for this idea. This book has remained the starting point for the study of inbreeding and is cited in scientific papers to this effect to this day.

Kin recognition is animals abilities to distinguish between close genetic kin and non kin. In evolutionary biology and in psychology , such capabilities are presumed to have evolved to serve the adaptive functions of kin altruism see kin selection and inbreeding avoidance. Apart from a few exceptional cases, such as the green beard effect , kin recognition is achieved via several cue based mechanisms, such as Imprinting psychology imprinting and phenotype matching. Because kin recognition is cue based, errors sometimes occur. A well known example is the Westermarck effect in which unrelated individuals who spend their childhood in the same household find each other sexually unattractive. References ZoolJLinnSoc154 781.

Unreferenced date March 2008 A true breeding organism , sometimes also called a pure bred, is an organism having certain Trait biological biological traits which are passed on to all subsequent generations when bred with another true breeding organism for the same traits. In other words, to breed true means that two organisms with a particular, inheritable phenotype produce only offspring with that same phenotype. In the case of a gene with multiple different alleles in the population, the genotype of a true breeding organism is homozygous . For example, a pure bred variety of cat, such as Siamese cat Siamese , only produce kittens with Siamese characteristics because their ancestors were inbreeding inbred until they were homozygous for all of the genes that produce the physical characteristics and temperament associated with the Siamese breed. True breeding is also used to refer to plants that produce only offspring of the same variety when they self pollinate. For example, when a true breeding plant with pink flowers is self pollinated, all its seeds will only produce plants that also have pink flowers. Gregor Mendel cross pollinated true breeding peas in his experiments on patterns of inheritance of traits. The definition of true breeding is Pertaining to an individual all of whose offspring produced through self fertilization are identical to the parental type. True breeding individuals are homozygous for a given trait.

This does not occur in larger populations.

Furthermore, the successful males act as a genetic bottleneck, leading to more rapid genetic drift or inbreeding problems in small populations.

The mixed mating model is a mathematical model that describes the mating system of a plant population in terms of the degree of self fertilisation present. It is a fairly simplistic model, employing several simplifying assumptions, most notably the assumption that every fertilisation event may be classed as either self fertilisation, or outcrossing with a completely random mate. Thus the only model parameter to be parameter estimation estimated is the probability of self fertilisation. ref name Brown 1989 cite book author Brown, A. H.

S. eds title Isozymes in Plant Biology pages 73 86 publisher Dioscorides Press location Portland ref The mixed mating model originated in the 1910s, with plant breeding plant breeders who were seeking evidence of outcrossing contamination of self pollinating crop s, but a formal description of the model and its parameter estimation was not published until 1951. The model is still in common use today, though a number of more complex models are also now in use. For example, a weakness of the model lies in its assumption that inbreeding occurs only as a result of self fertilisation in reality, inbreeding may also occur through outcrossing between closely related individuals. The effective selfing model relaxes this assumption by seeking also to estimate the degree of shared ancestry of outcrossing mates. ref name Brown 1989 References reflist Category Plant sexuality Category Mating systems Category Mathematical modeling botany stub ... more details
