BGS 313, Chlorina seedling 6, fch6
Stock number: BGS 313
Locus name: Chlorina seedling 6
Locus symbol: fch6
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Yellow virescent = yv (8).
Chlorina seedling 6 = f6 (2).
Chlorina seedling 6 = f6 (2).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (8).
Located in chromosome 5HL (2, 5, 7, 8); fch6.g is over 36.2 cM proximal from the srh1 (short rachilla hair 1) locus (2); fch6.g is associated with SNP markers 1_0621 to 2_1275 (positions 56.4 to 104.7 cM) in 5H bins 03 to 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW362 (1).
Located in chromosome 5HL (2, 5, 7, 8); fch6.g is over 36.2 cM proximal from the srh1 (short rachilla hair 1) locus (2); fch6.g is associated with SNP markers 1_0621 to 2_1275 (positions 56.4 to 104.7 cM) in 5H bins 03 to 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW362 (1).
Description:
Seedlings appear yellowish-white initially, but green pigments develop near the leaf tip within one week. Green pigmentation is not as intense as in normal seedlings (8). The chlorophyll content is 15% of normal in 3-week old seedlings, and the free amino acid content is increased by 75% or more (4). Plants do mature in the field, but development is much delayed (3). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for fch6.g, BW362, showed variable responses to environment. Heading dates of BW362 ranged from 2 to 17 days later than Bowman. Plant height varied from 20% shorter to 20% taller and the average number of kernels per spike varied 16 to 27 compared with 19 to 24 for Bowman. Kernels of BW362 were slightly shorter and narrower and they weighed 10 to 15% less than those of Bowman. Grain yields of BW362 ranged from 20 to 40% lower than Bowman yields (3).
