BGS 641, NADH nitrate reductase-deficient 5 (molybdenum cofactor), nar5
Stock number: BGS 641
Locus name: NADH nitrate reductase-deficient 5 (molybdenum cofactor)
Locus symbol: nar5
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3).
Location in chromosome 5HL (1); nar5.o is near molecular marker ABC324 in bin 5H-06 (1).
Description:
The nar5 mutants are characterized by a pleiotropic loss of nitrate reductase and xanthine dehydrogenase activity (3). All alleles are somewhat light green and viable as homozygotes (1).
