Abbreviation: HFC, heterozygosity–fitness correlation.

a

in units of plant growth (cm).

b

s.d.

c

95% confidence limit.

The elements denoted in the table are as follows: Growth, mean block adjusted growth; Hi, mean individual heterozygosity; g2, inter-locus heterozygosity correlation inferred from the MLTR selfing rate implemented in equation 4 in David et al., (2007); f, inbreeding estimate derived from the MLTR selfing rate where f=s/(2−s); r2ω,Hi, the variation in fitness explained by heterozygosity; βω,Hi, regression slope of fitness-heterozygosity regression; r2ω,f, variation in fitness explained by inbreeding; βω,f, regression slope of fitness-inbreeding, the inbreeding load; variance parameters in parentheses.
