BGS 634, Premature ripe 2, pmr2
Stock number: BGS 634
Locus name: Premature ripe 2
Locus symbol: pmr2
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Necroticans 50 = nec-50 (2, 3).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3).
Location is unknown.
Location is unknown.
Description:
Plants appear normal until shortly before heading. Prior to heading, tan to light brown blotches start to develop on the leaf blades. The blotches enlarge rapidly and coalesce and the leaf blades gradually die (1, 3). Peduncle elongation is poor, and plants are shorter than normal sibs. Although leaf sheaths and spikes remain green, plants ripen prematurely. After the plants ripen, the straw collapses easily. The grain is small and thin (1).
