This project will measure and compare samples of cultivated and wild flax that vary in their history of genetic inbreeding to test the impact of inbreeding on components of fitness. This fundamental aspect of evolution is thought to drive the maintenance of outcrossing breeding systems and the huge biodiversity of life. This project will contribute to BBSRC's research priority of sustainably enhancing agricultural production via genetic improvements of crops. The CASE partner, RBGE, is an internationally important organisation responsible for the conservation and study of plant and fungal biodiversity. This project will feed into the core scientific activities of PBGE to generate baseline botanical data, to document and conserve plant biodiversity, and better understand evolutionary processes in plants.

该项目将测量和比较不同的遗传近亲繁殖历史的栽培和野生亚麻样品，以测试近亲繁殖对健康组成部分的影响。进化的这一基本方面被认为是维持异交繁殖系统和巨大的生物多样性的动力。该项目将有助于BBSRC通过作物遗传改良可持续提高农业生产的研究重点。CASE的合作伙伴RBGE是一个国际重要组织，负责植物和真菌生物多样性的保护和研究。该项目将纳入PBGE的核心科学活动，以生成基线植物学数据，记录和保护植物生物多样性，并更好地了解植物的进化过程。
