BGS 325, Curly lateral 1, crl1
Stock number: BGS 325
Locus name: Curly lateral 1
Locus symbol: crl1
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Curly laterals = cu (5).
Curly laterals = cl (4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (4, 5).
Located in chromosome 6H (1); crl1.a is associated with SNP markers 2_1473 to 2_1256 (positions 87.67 to 118.33 cM) in 6H bins 06 to 07 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW194 (1). Previously reported to be in 5HL over 30.4 cM distal from the raw1 (smooth awn 1) locus (4, 5); linkage to the Rph9 (reaction to Puccinia hordei 9) locus was not found (3).
Description:
Awns on lateral spikelets are curly or wavy, and lateral spikelets may be malformed and partially sterile. Central spikelets may have a twisted awn occasionally (4). The curly lateral trait is not expressed in all tillers (4).The crl1.a gene is expressed better in six-rowed spikes. In the Bowman backcross-derived line for crl1.a, BW194, awns seemed thinner and the awns of some spikelets were bent at odd angles (2). The awns of BW194 were about 20% shorter than those of Bowman. Kernels were about 10% shorter and thinner, and their weights were about 10% less than those of Bowman. Heading was often delayed by one or two days and spikes had 2 to 3 fewer kernels. Grain yields of BW194 were 1/2 to 2/3 those of Bowman (2).
Origin of mutant:
A gamma-ray induced mutant in Montcalm (CIho 7149) (4).
Mutational events:
crl1.a (Alb Acc 305, GSHO 1211) in Montcalm (CIho 7149) (4).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
crl1.a (GSHO 1211) in Montcalm; crl1.a in Bowman (PI 483237)*3 (GSHO 2146); crl1.a in Bowman*6 (BW194, NGB 22026).
