BGS 186, Slender dwarf 3, sld3
Stock number: BGS 186
Locus name: Slender dwarf 3
Locus symbol: sld3
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Anthocyanin-free = ant-567 (6).
Proanthocyanidin-free 17.567 = ant17.567 (5).
Slender dwarf e = sld.e (4).
Proanthocyanidin-free 17.567 = ant17.567 (5).
Slender dwarf e = sld.e (4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2).
Located in chromosome 4HS (3); sld3.e showed linkage drag with the int-c intermedium spike-c) locus (3); sld3.e is associated with SNP markers 1_0208 to 2_0777 (positions 5.24 to 40.15 cM) in chromosome 4H bins 01 to 04 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW863 (1).

Description:
The mutant gene sld3.e was isolated as a second mutant in the stock ant17.567 (proanthocyanidin-free 17) (2). Plants show reduced vigor and are about 3/4 normal height. The number of spikelets per spike is about 3/4 that of normal sibs and kernels are slightly smaller. Rachis internodes can be slightly longer and grain yields are about 3/4 of normal. The Bowman backcross-derived line with sld3.e (BW863) did not show a reduction in anthocyanin pigmentation or a large reduction in kernel size (2). Plants of BW863 were about 10% shorter than Bowman, and peduncles were about 20% shorter. Rachis nodes were slightly longer, and kernels per spike can be reduced up to 20% in some environments. Kernels were slightly shorter and thinner than those of Bowman, and seed weights were 10 to 15% less. Grain yields were slightly reduced compared to those of Bowman (2).

Origin of mutant:
A sodium azide induced mutant isolated with ant17.567 in Manker (CIho 15549) (6).
Mutational events:
sld3.e (ant17.567, DWS1050 GSHO 2480) in Manker (CIho 15549) (2).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
sld3.e (GSHO 2480) in Bowman/ant17.567; sld3.e in Bowman (PI 483237, NGB 22812)*7 (GSHO 1998, BW863, NGB 22300).
