BGS 659, Brachytic 18, brh18
Stock number: BGS 659
Locus name: Brachytic 18
Locus symbol: brh18
Revised locus symbol:
The brh18.ac mutant is an allele at the brh13 (Brachytic 13) or CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC DWARF (HvCPD) locus, which encodes the barley C-23α-hydroxylase cytochrome P450 90A1 (CYP90A1) (2). See BGS 656 for more information on the alleles at the brh13 or HvCPD locus.
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Brachytic-ac = brh.ac (5).
Brachytic 18.ac = brh18.ac (2).
Brachytic 18.ac = brh18.ac (2).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5, 7).
Located in chromosome 5HS (1); brh13.ac (brh18.ac) is approximately 9.2 cM distal from SSR marker Bmac0163 in 5H bin 01 (1); brh13.ac was not evaluated by Druka et al. (3); the brh13.ac mutant is in the HvCPD gene and is positioned at 44.24 cM (2) on the barley genome map (8, 9).

Description:
Plants of the brh13.ac mutant are about 2/3 normal height and awns are less than 2/3 of normal length. Seedling leaves of brh13.ac plants are relatively short (1, 4). Peduncles are slightly coiled and about 3/4 as long as those of normal sibs (1, 2, 5). Rachis internodes of the Bowman backcross-derived line for brh13.ac mutant, BW089, were about 20% shorter than those of Bowman. BW089 plants were about 2/3 the height of Bowman plants and the extension of awns beyond the tip of the spike was about half as far. Kernels of BW089 plants were slightly lighter than those of Bowman, but about 10% shorter. Lodging was reduced, but grain yields averaged about 1/2 that for Bowman (6). The brh13.ac mutant shows a brassinosteroid deficient phenotype including reduced culm length due to short upper internodes, irregular rachis internode length, short awns, acute leaf angles, and undulating leaf margins (2).
