Inbreeding 1. In plants, self-fertilization (the most efficient and rapid method to produce homozygous genes to obtain a pure line). (result-karmaxul)

Inbreeding depression The reduction in vigor often observed in progeny from matings between close relatives. Inbreeding depression is due to the expression of recessive deleterious alleles and is usually severe in open-pollinated outcrossing species that occur in fairly high population densities.
