Marian Vieyra Jan 2, 2011:
Negative connotations... I meant that if you say someone or a specific group is "inbred" it is never a compliment in a social/cultural sense in English... You sometimes hear that royal families are inbred... :)
Andre Damasceno (asker) Jan 1, 2011:
Do you really think it has negative connotations? I have found this term in several texts. e.g. http://www.netpets.com/dogs/healthspa/demyst.html

Marian Vieyra Jan 1, 2011:
Tipo? Hi Andre, maybe they mean "a kind of" or"similar to" by tipo -
the reproductive system of this plant species is probably some kind of inbreeding/probably similar to inbreeding
Andre Damasceno (asker) Jan 1, 2011:
Thank you fellows. How would you say "tipo cruzamento"? Na verdade, já conhecia o termo por "inbreeding", mas não sei como dizer "tipo cruzamento."

See : Outcrossing (cross-fertilisation)
The primary mating systems in plants are outcrossing (cross-fertilisation), autogamy (self-fertilisation) and apomixis (asexual reproduction without fertilisation, but only when it arising by modification of sexual function). However, mixed mating systems, in which plants use two or even all three mating systems, are not uncommon.[1] - Wiki
Peer comment(s):

agree Evans (X) : yes, I would use "outcrossing" here, as opposed to "self-pollination" or "selfing".
