Mutation accumulation and fitness decline accompanying recurrent regeneration of germ plasm in an outcrossing plant species, with U = 1, h = 0.35, and s = 0.05. (A) Under bulk seed harvesting. Solid lines show results for deterministic analyses; dashed lines for simulation (K = 25 only). (B) Under equal seed harvesting. Dashed and solid lines as above. (C) Fitness decline relative to initial collection. Solid and dashed lines indicate bulk and equal harvesting, respectively.
