BGS 147, Multiovary 2, mov2
Stock number: BGS 147
Locus name: Multiovary 2
Locus symbol: mov2
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Multi-ovary = mo (4).
Multiovary 7 = mo7a (5, 6).
Multiovary 7 = mo7a (5, 6).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2, 4, 5, 6).
Located in chromosome 3HS (6); co-segregation with molecular markers ABC171A and JS001B in 3H bin 02 (6).
Located in chromosome 3HS (6); co-segregation with molecular markers ABC171A and JS001B in 3H bin 02 (6).
Description:
The mov2.g (mo7a) mutant has between five and seven carpel-like structures and normal lodicules. Stamens are not present, but some carpels are terminated with stamen-like structures. Pollination using wild-type flowers results in a few seeds (6). The plant appears abnormal with a twisted and compact spike and reduced awn length. The frequency of mutant plants in the two F2 progenies examined was much lower than expected (6). The stock must be maintained as a heterozygote (3). The mutants reported by Moh and Nilan (4) and Kamra and Nilan (2) may be alleles, but seed stocks were unavailable for testing (6).
