BGS 608, Proanthocyanidin-free 28, ant28
Stock number: BGS 608
Locus name: Proanthocyanidin-free 28
Locus symbol: ant28
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5).
Located in chromosome 3HL, ant28.484 is close to the Est4 (Esterase 4) locus (1). ant28.494 mapped about 11 cM proximal from microsatellite marker EBmag0705 in the distal region of 3HL (2).
Description:
Mutant plants synthesize a wild type amount of anthocyanins in their vegetative parts. The testa layers of the mutant grains lack catechins and proanthocyanidins. The ant28 gene affects the proanthocyanidin specific branch of the flavonoid pathway, but the exact nature of the gene action is not known (4). The gene for the R2R3 MYB domain protein, which regulates proanthocyanidin accumulation in developing grains, was isolated by PCR from the barley mutant ant28.494 and named Hvmyb10 due to its similarity to Tamyb10 or R-1 of wheat (2). The ant28 mutants evaluated had reduced grain dormancy indicating that Hvmyb10 is a key factor in grain dormancy in barley (2).
