BGS 646, Ovaryless 2, ovl2
Stock number: BGS 646
Locus name: Ovaryless 2
Locus symbol: ovl2
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (1).
Location is unknown.
Location is unknown.
Description:
Mutant plants appear normal except carpels are rudimentary and plants are female sterile. Plant development appears normal. Anther development is normal and pollen is viable (1). The ovl2.b mutant must be maintained as a heterozygote (1). The ovaryless 1 (ovl1.a) mutant (BGS 176, GSHO 610) was not available for allelism tests, but the two mutants are phenotypically very different in plant morphology (1).
