BGN  46:123 Export to PDF
Stock number: BGS 578
Locus name: Praematurum-b
Locus symbol: mat-b

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Early 7 = ea-b7 (3).
Early maturity-b = ea-b (10).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (3, 4).
Located in chromosome 7HL (9), mat-b.7 is in a 5.74 cM interval between morex_contig_67392 and morex_contig_1561399 (positions 126.27 to132.01 cM) in 7H bin 13, but close to morex_contig_1561399 (9).

Description:

Early heading mutants at the mat-b locus show a rather drastic increase in earliness (heading 7 days earlier than the parents) under field cultivation in Sweden (3, 9). When grown under controlled environmental conditions, mutants are photo- and thermoperiod sensitive and are classified as a pronounced long-day type (1, 2, 5). Early heading is also associated with decreased culm length, kernels per spike, and grain yield. Mutant plants are generally more productive in field trials than mat-a (eam8) mutants, but less resistant to lodging, partially caused by a modified culm structure. Compared with the original cultivars, they have one internode less per culm, a longer first internode, and a short basal rachis internode (3). At an early stage of development, mat-b mutants are characterized by pale green color when grown at 15 to 20C, but they are bright green in color at lower temperatures (1, 2, 5). (This stock has only a mat-c mutant). Earliness of the mat-b mutants was observed to be day length responsive averaging 9 days earlier than their mother cultivars under long days, but they failed to head under short days (9).

Origin of mutant:

An X-ray induced mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (3).
