BGS 658, Brachytic 17, brh17
Stock number: BGS 658
Locus name: Brachytic 17
Locus symbol: brh17
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Semidwarf mutant = Mo4 (7).
Brachytic-ab = brh.ab (4).
Brachytic-ab = brh.ab (4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (4, 5).
Located in chromosome 5HS (1); brh17.ab is approximately 11.6 cM proximal from SSR marker Bmag0387 in 5H bin 03 (1). brh17.ab is associated with SNP markers 1_0688 to 2_1344 (positions 52.12 to 98.42 cM) in 5H bins 03 to 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW088 (2).

Description:
Plants are about 3/4 normal height and awns are 5/6 of normal length. Peduncles are slightly shortened. Rachis internodes are about 20% shorter than those of normal sibs. Seedling leaves of brh17.ab plants are relatively short (1, 3). Compared to Bowman, kernels of the Bowman backcross-derived line for brh17.ab, BW088, were shorter (7.7 vs. 9.7 mm) and nearly 20% lighter, 5.0 vs. 5.9 mg. Lodging was reduced in BW088 and grain yields averaged 2/3 those of Bowman (1, 3). BW088 plants headed 1 to 2 days later than Bowman plants, were 10 to 15 cm shorter and had slightly shorter awns and peduncles (3).
