The inbreeding coefficient will depart from 0 in several circumstances, namely: (1) if the population is small so that there is a likelihood of mating between relatives; (2) if there is assortative mating between like phenotypes; (3) if there is any tendency to assortative mating between relatives (e.g sib-crossing or, at the extreme, self-pollination). All three are relevant to plant breeding. 1, record 2, English, - assortative%20mating

Le coefficient d'autofécondation s'éloignera de 0 dans plusieurs circonstances: 1) la population est si petite qu'il existe une probabilité de croisements entre parents; 2) il existe des croisements préférentiels entre des phénotypes semblables; 3) il existe des préférences d'appariement entre certains parents (p. ex. croisements entre frères ou, à la limite, l'autofécondation). Ces trois cas s'appliquent à l'amélioration des plantes. 1, record 2, French, - croisement%20pr%C3%A9f%C3%A9rentiel
