BGS 620, Calcaroides-b, cal-b
Stock number: BGS 620
Locus name: Calcaroides-b
Locus symbol: cal-b
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5, 6).
Located in chromosome 5HL (7); cal-b.2 is about 4.2 cM proximal from AFLP marker E4040-4 and probably near molecular marker CDO749 in 5H bin 04 (7); cal-b.2 is associated with SNP markers 1_1198 to 2_0713 (positions 73.70 to 101.69 cM) in 5H bins 04 to 06 of the Bowman backcrossed-derived line BW104 (2), likely in 5H bin 05.

Description:
At the tip of the lemma proper, in a position corresponding to the transition between lemma and awn, cal-b mutants have a knee-like ectopic structure (1, 7). In mutant cal-b.2, frequently only an enlargement of the basal third of the awn is evident and the enlargement is expressed more in terminal and subterminal spikelets. Leaf knots and leaf curling occurs also (7). The awn malformation of the cal-b.2 mutant is associated with developmental activation of the phytomeric triad separating the lemma from awn (4). In the Bowman backcross-derived line for cal-b.2, BW104, plants were slightly shorter and spikes had a more lax arrangement of spikelets (3). The awns of BW104 were slightly shorter, 10 vs. 12 cm, than those of Bowman. Leaf blades were 1/2 to 2/3 as wide, and the spikes had about 5 fewer rachis internodes with fertile spikelets than those of Bowman. Kernels were shorter and thinner and weighed about 20% less. Grain yields of BW104 were about 1/3 of normal (3).
