BGS 341, Albino seedling 12, abo12
Stock number: BGS 341
Locus name: Albino seedling 12
Locus symbol: abo12
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Albino seedling c = alb,,c (1).
Albino seedling o = alb,,o (2).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (1, 2).
Located in chromosome 5HS (2); abo12.o is over 26.1 cM distal from the msg16 (male sterile genetic 16) locus (2); abo12.o is not linked to the msg19 (male sterile genetic 19) locus (2).
Description:
Seedlings have a white color and die at the two to three leaf stage (1). The abo12.o gene must be maintained as a heterozygous stock.
Origin of mutant:
A spontaneous mutant in Titan (CIho 7055) (1).
Mutational events:
abo12.o (GSHO 583) in Titan (CIho 7055) (1, 2).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
abo12.o (GSHO 583) in Titan.
