BGS 95, Albino seedling 13, abo13
Stock number: BGS 95
Locus name: Albino seedling 13
Locus symbol: abo13
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Albino seedling e = alb,,e (1).
Albino seedling p = alb,,p (2).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (1, 2).
Located in chromosome 2HL (2); abo13.p is located about 1.2 cM from the msg2 (male sterile genetic 2) locus (2).
Description:
Seedlings have a white color and die at the two to three leaf stage (1). The abo13.p gene must be maintained as a heterozygous stock.
Origin of mutant:
A spontaneous mutant in Titan (CIho 7055) (1).
Mutational events:
abo13.p (GSHO 585) in Titan (CIho 7055) (1, 2); 12 additional mutants isolated in the progeny of diethyl sulfate treated msg2 plants (generated from a cross to a balanced tertiary trisomic stock) crossed to Arivat (CIho 7543) (3, 4).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
abo13.p (GSHO 585) in Titan.
