Increased heterosis in selfing populations of a perennial forb

Quantifying the effects of population bottlenecks and inbreeding on genetic variation underlying fitness in natural populations is central to understanding the potential limits to natural selection. One approach is to estimate heterosis in crosses between populations, thus revealing deleterious muta...
