BGS 577, Reaction to Schizaphis graminum 2 (greenbug), Rsg2
Stock number: BGS 577
Locus name: Reaction to Schizaphis graminum 2 (greenbug)
Locus symbol: Rsg2
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial dominant (1).
Location is unknown.
Description:
Resistant seedlings infested with greenbugs (aphids) are not killed or severely stunted by a buildup of the greenbug population, but susceptible seedlings are killed or severely stunted (1, 4). The resistance provided by PI 426756 (4 to 5 readings on a 1 to 9 scale) to most S. graminum biotypes was less effective than that provided the Rsg1.a gene in Post 90 (PI 549081) (2 to 3 readings) (3). PI 426756 was confirmed to provide resistance (2 to 3 readings) to the TX1 isolate of S. graminum, which produces a susceptible reaction (9 reading) on Post 90 (2).

Origin of mutant:
Natural occurrence in Joa (PI 426756) (1, 4).
Mutational events:
Rsg2.b in PI 426756 (1).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
Rsg2.b in PI 426756 (GSHO 2513).
