BGS 640, NADH nitrate reductase-deficient 4 (molybdenum cofactor), nar4
Stock number: BGS 640
Locus name: NADH nitrate reductase-deficient 4 (molybdenum cofactor)
Locus symbol: nar4
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3).
Location in chromosome 2HL (1); nar4.y is co-segregating with Gln2 (Glutamine synthetase 2) in 2H bin 13 (1).
Description:
The nar4 mutant is characterized by a pleiotropic loss of nitrate reductase and xanthine dehydrogenase activity (3). It is lethal under field conditions, but can be grown to maturity in the greenhouse with a reduced nitrogen source (2).
