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 1, 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 1, French, - croisement%20pr%C3%A9f%C3%A9rentiel

The inbreeding coefficient(F) is the probability that two alleles at any locus are identical and descended from a common ancestor. 2, record 2, English, - inbreeding%20coefficient
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Since the inbreeding coefficient is a probability, it can assume only the values within the range of zero to 1. 0. Inbreeding coefficients express the amount of inbreeding that has accumulated starting from a specific point in the ancestry of the population.... 2, record 2, English, - inbreeding%20coefficient
