Hi all,
Somebody recently asked me a question I couldn't answer and couldn't find good info about.
But as the title says, is continuining crossing fems with reversed fems between unrelated individuals (not inbreeding) detrimental for the vigour in the long run in a line? Because there aren't any males used anymore.
Aren't in the end the plants going to start suffering from the lack of male alleles? Would they end up missing something?
