Parents and o¡spring
were genotyped with nine polymorphic microsatellites.
Out of 1704 o¡spring from the two crosses,
98.7% were assigned to their parents. In PI, 19 of 20
parents produced o¡spring, while in PII, only ¢ve
parents contributed to o¡spring. Low contribution of
parents to o¡spring could lead to reduced genetic
variation in the next generation
