BGS 603, Proanthocyanidin-free 21, ant21
Stock number: BGS 603
Locus name: Proanthocyanidin-free 21
Locus symbol: ant21
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3, 4).
Located in chromosome 6H, close to the centromere (1).
Located in chromosome 6H, close to the centromere (1).
Description:
Under normal growing conditions no anthocyanins are observed in the vegetative parts of the mutant plants. The mutant grains lack proanthocyanidins and no precursors of proanthocyanidins are accumulated. The action of the gene ant21 is unknown, but it might be involved in the regulation of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis (5, 6).
