BGS 350, Brachytic 6, brh6
Stock number: BGS 350
Locus name: Brachytic 6
Locus symbol: brh6
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Brachytic-r = brh.r (4).
Brachytic-s = brh.s (4).
Brachytic-s = brh.s (4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5, 6).
Located in chromosome 5HL (1, 5); brh6.r is about 12.0 cM distal from SSR marker Bmag0394 in bin 5H-03 (1); brh6.r is associated with SNP markers 1_0688 to 2_1344 (positions 52.12 to 98.42 cM) in 5H bins 02 to 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW097 (2); brh6.s is possibly associated with one SNP marker 1_0641 (position 108.33 cM) in 5H bin 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW098 (2).

Description:
Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line are 2/3 to 3/4 normal height and awns are 1/2 to 2/3 normal length. The seedling leaf of brh6 plants is shorter than that of normal sibs (1, 3). Peduncles and leaf blades are 2/3 normal length and the grain is nearly normal (1). However, kernels are nearly 20% lighter than those of Bowman with both decreased length and width (1, 3). Although grain yield of the near-isogenic line for brh6 was lower than those of tall Akashinriki, the brh6 line was considered a high yielding dwarf (8).
