Molecular and quantitative signatures of biparental inbreeding depression in the self-incompatible tree species Prunus avium

Abstract: Genetic diversity strongly influences populations' adaptability to changing environments and therefore survival. Sustainable forest management practices have multiple roles including conservation of genetic resources and timber production. In this study, we aimed at better understanding the variation in genetic diversity among adult and offspring individuals, and the effects of mating system on offspring survival and growth in wild cherry, Prunus avium. We analysed adult trees and open pollinated seed-families… Show more

“…This probably is due to crossing with close relatives within patches (dispersal is very inefficient, see Escudero et al, 2000), causing an increase of kinship and, therefore, inbreeding (Fischer, Hock & Paschke, 2003). It is well known that inbreeding (or high kinship similarity) has a negative effect on population dynamics because it reduces the reproductive success of the species (Jolivet, Rogge & Degen, 2013;Hermansen et al, 2015) and the frequency of heterozygosity, fixing more easily any deleterious alleles (Mattey & Smiseth, 2015) which potentially decrease the adaptive ability of the species (Porcher & Lande, 2016). However, as the loci number is low, these F inbreeding coefficient values could be due to presence of null alleles.…”

“…It is well known that small populations isolated in fragmented habitats contain less genetic diversity than larger populations because over time, individuals will become more homozygous due to the low amounts of available genetic diversity within the population and increased inbreeding (Duminil et al 2007). There are also complex interactions between small population size, genetic diversity and individual fitness (Aguilar et al 2008) with several consequences, such as inbreeding depression (Jolivet et al 2013). Human activity and land use changes was followed by smallscale fragmentation of grassland habitats in most regions of central Europe, thus small populations are facing extinction due to local maladaptation in remnant habitats (Busch et al 2016).…”
