BGS 413, Glossy sheath 8, gsh8
Stock number: BGS 413
Locus name: Glossy sheath 8
Locus symbol: gsh8
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Eceriferum-u = cer-u (7).
Glossy sheath 8 = gs8 (5).
Eceriferum-cqu = cer-cqu (16, 23).
A member of the gene cluster Cer-cqu (17, 23).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5, 7).
Located in chromosome 2HS (19, 20); gsh8.ag is located in 2HS based on close association with the gsh6 (glossy sheath 6) locus (2, 6, 19, 20) in a subterminal position (18); gsh8.ag is associated with SNP markers 2_1377 to 1_0919 (positions 20.11 to 66.78 cM) in 2H bins 02 to 03 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW411 (1), in 2H bins 02 or 03 (1); the Cer-cqu gene cluster is near SNP marker 1_0718 and 2.7 cM distal from 1_1059 (17), likely in 2H bins 01 or 02.
Description:
The wax coating on the spike, stem and leaf sheath appears reduced (wax code + + ++) (7). The gsh8 locus is the cer-u component of the complex locus cer-cqu which controls epicuticular wax layer formation on the surface of the spike, leaf sheath, and stem (21, 23, 25). Deposition of β-diketone lipids is reduced or eliminated by mutants in the cer-cqu locus (23), specifically the cer-u mutants have impaired hydroxyl group insertion (21). Since two types of β-diketones and the alkan-2-ol containing esters are absent in the leaf blades (22) and awns (24), mutants in the Cer-cqu cluster of genes do not change the surface wax composition on these organs (22, 24). The original cer-u.21 stock exhibited reduced seed set (7). Morphological differences, except for surface waxes, were not observed between Bowman and its backcross-derived line BW411 (3). The Gsh8 (Cer-u) locus is a member of the β-diketone synthase polyketide pathway for synthesis of β-diketone aliphatics, which are part of the complex of epicuticular or surface waxes present in Triticeae species (17). The Cer-u (AK373499) gene is a P450 hydroxylase with five exons and is positioned between the Cer-q (Gsh1) and Cer-c (Gsh6) loci (17). CER-U hydroxylates carbon 25 of the C31 β-diketone chain, as do most of its homologs in the β-diketone polyketide pathway in Triticeae species (17). The β-diketone biosynthesis Cer-cqu locus of barley is similar to the wheat W1 locus, which contains a metabolic gene cluster mediating β-diketone biosynthesis (4).
Origin of mutant:
A gamma-ray induced mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (7). More information on the origin of cer-u mutants is presented in www.nordgen.org/bgs and in Schneider et al. (17).
