Stock number: BGS 562
Locus name: Erectoides-k
Locus symbol: ert-k

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Erectoides-32 = ert-32 (6).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (6).
Located in chromosome 6H (3, 5, 10), ert-k.32 is associated with SNP markers 1_0061 to 1_0040 (positions 70.15 to 107.26 cM) in 6H bins 05 to 07 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW314 (2); ert-k.32 is in a 15.7-cM interval between markers 2_0291 (50.4 cM) and 1_0040 (66.1 cM) (8).

Description:

Spikes of ert-k mutants are semicompact with rachis internode length values varying from 2.4 to 2.8 mm compared to 3.1 for Bonus (10). Culm length was 3/4 to 5/6 of normal (10). The improved straw strength of this mutant has potential agronomic value as indicated by the release of the ert-k.32 stock as the cultivar Pallas (1, 7). In the Bowman backcross-derived line for ert-k.32, BW314, plants were about 15% shorter, kernels were 10 to 15% lighter, and rachis internodes were shorter, 3.5 vs. 4.5 mm, than those of Bowman (4). The grain yields of BW314 and Bowman were similar (4). In comparison with Bowman as grown under greenhouse conditions, BW314 plants had shorter culms (78.4 ± 7.7 cm vs. 63.7 ± 4.6 cm) and denser spikes (7.3 ± 3.4 cm vs. 6.1 ± 2.5 cm) (8), Compared to Bowman, the 1000-kernel weight of BW314 was reduced by approximately 9.5% (46.2 ± 2.3 g and 41.9 ± 3.2 g) (8). The ert-k region of 6H was associated with a plant height QTL, QTL16_PHT, in a genome-wide association mapping study of spring barley accessions (11).

Origin of mutant:

An X-ray induced mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (6).
