BGS 541, Eceriferum-xd, cer-xd
Stock number: BGS 541
Locus name: Eceriferum-xd
Locus symbol: cer-xd
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (4).
Located in chromosome 4H or 5HL (1); cer-xd.1455 is associated with donor parent SNP markers in two large segments, 2_0289 to 2_1332 (positions 69.62 to 112.64 cM) in 4H bins 05 to 07 and 2_0884 to 1_0310 (positions 210.59 to 286.68 cM) in 5H bins 11 to 15 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW130 (1).
Description:
Surface wax coating on the spike, leaf sheath, and stem is reduced (wax code + + ++) (4). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for cer-xd.1455, BW130, appeared to have extra surface wax on their nodes (2). BW130 plants headed up to 3 days later than Bowman and were about 10% shorter. Most of the height reduction was caused by short peduncles. Kernels of BW130 were slightly shorter and 10 to 20% lighter than those of Bowman. Grain yields of BW130 were about 2/3 of those for Bowman (2).
Origin of mutant:
A sodium azide induced mutant in Bonus (NGB14657, PI 189763) (3).
Mutational events:
cer-xd.1455 (NGB112343, GSHO 1561), -xd.1492 (NGB 112380) in Bonus (NGB14657, PI 189763) (4).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
cer-xd.1455 (NGB 112343, GSHO 1561) in Bonus; cer-xd.1455 in Bowman (PI 483237)*2 (GSHO 2230); cer-xd.1455 in Bowman*4 (BW130, NGB 20536).
