BGS 305, Cream seedling 1, crm1
Stock number: BGS 305
Locus name: Cream seedling 1
Locus symbol: crm1
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
White seedling b = ab (2).
Albino seedling b = ab (3).
Cream seedling = cm (1, 4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2, 3).
Located in chromosome 5HL (1); crm1.a is closely linked to the raw1 (smooth awn 1) locus (1), and is about 26.0 cM from the srh1 (short rachilla hair 1) locus (2).
Description:
Seedlings are cream in color and survive until they are about two weeks old (4). The crm1.a gene must be maintained as a heterozygous stock.
Origin of mutant:
A spontaneous mutant in Black Hulless (PI 24849) (2).
Mutational events:
crm1.a (Black Hulless III, GSHO 20) in Black Hulless (PI 24849) (2).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
crm1.a (GSHO 20) in Black Hulless.
