BGS 194, Slender dwarf 7, sld7
Stock number: BGS 194
Locus name: Slender dwarf 7
Locus symbol: sld7
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Slender dwarf f = sld.f (3).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (4).
Located in chromosome 4HL (4); sld7.f is based on linkage drag with the int-c (intermedium sapike-c) locus (4); sld7.f is associated with SNP markers 2_0762 to 2_0089 (positions 143.75 to 183.54 cM) in 4H bins 10 to 13 of Bowman backcross-derived line BW853 (1).

Description:
The original sld7.f mutant was isolated based on reduced plant height and exhibited reduced tillering (2). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for sld7.f, BW853, were 80 to 90% for normal height. Grain yields of BW853 were 1/4 to 3/4 those of Bowman. Other morphological traits of BW853 were similar to those of Bowman (3).

Origin of mutant:
A sodium azide induced mutant in Glenn (CIho 15769) (2).
Mutational events:
sld7.f (GSHO 2481) in Glenn (CIho 15769) (2, 3).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
sld7.f (GSHO 2481) in Glenn; sld7.f in Bowman (PI 483237)*5 (GSHO 1997), sld7.f in Bowman*8 (BW853, NGB 22290).
