BGS 229, Curly dwarf 2, cud2
Stock number: BGS 229
Locus name: Curly dwarf 2
Locus symbol: cud2
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3).
Located in chromosome 1HL (3); cud2.b is about 14.6 cM proximal from the Blp1 (Black lemma and pericarp 1) locus (3, 4); no SNP markers different than those of Bowman were retained in the Bowman backcross-derived line BW199 for cud2.b (1).
Description:
Lemmas and awns are curly or strongly twisted, and stem internodes are curved. Culms are short (1/2 normal), spikes are semi-compact, awns are short (2/3 normal length), and kernels are globe-shaped. Most leaves are short and slightly twisted (3). In the Bowman backcross-derived line for cud2.b, BW199, plants were short (3/5 of Bowman), the twisted leaf blades were slightly shorter, peduncles were coiled and about 1/2 normal length, rachis internodes were slightly shorter, and awns were twisted and 2/3 normal length. Compared to Bowman, kernels were short (80% as long) and slightly wider and were about 3/4 normal weight (4.2 vs. 5.5 mg), and test weights were about 25% lower. Grain yields of BW199 were 1/4 to 1/2 of those for Bowman (2).
Origin of mutant:
An ethyl methanesulfonate induced mutant in Akashinriki (OUJ659, PI 467400) (3).
Mutational events:
cud2.b (OUM112, GSHO 1712) in Akashinriki (OUJ659, PI 467400) (3).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
cud2.b (OUM112, GSHO 1712) in Akashinriki; cud2.b in Bowman (PI 483237)*2 (GSHO 2062); cud2.b in Bowman*7 (BW199, NGB 22031).
