Spiral neck = spn (5,11,12).
Globosum-d = glo-d (6).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (6, 8, 12, 13).
Located in chromosome 2HL (5, 6, 9, 14); glo-d.1006 is close to the Gth1 (Toothed lemma 1) locus based on linkage drag (3); cur4.f is associated with SNP markers 1_0297 to 2_1258 (positions 85.71 to 114.96 cM) in 2H bins 07 to 08 of Bowman backcross-derived line BW223 (1); glo-d.1006 is associated with SNP markers 2_0674 to 2_0528 (positions 85.28 to 118.78 cM) in 2H bins 07 to 08 of Bowman backcross-derived line BW395 (1); cur4.i is associated with SNP markers 1_0216 to 2_0833 (positions 47.48 to 115.90 cM) in 2H bins 04 to 08 of Bowman backcross-derived line BW224 (1), in 2H bin 08.

Description:
Diagnostic characteristics for cur4 mutants can be observed from the seedling stage to maturity. Roots are curved compared to straight roots in normal plants (12). Leaf blades tend to coil or bend and have wrinkles at the margins. Culms are bent slightly at the nodes and about 3/4 normal length, peduncles are spiral or kinky, and awns are frequently slightly coiled (6, 12). Compared to Bowman, plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for cur4.f, BW223, headed 2 to 4 days later and had 2 to 5 more kernels per spike. BW223 plants were 5 to 10% shorter and have slightly shorter peduncles, awns, and rachis internodes. Kernels of BW223 were shorter, 7.4 vs. 9.4 mm, and weighed less, 4.7 vs.5.4 mg. Grain yields of BW223 were 10 to 30% lower than Bowman yields (4). Compared to Bowman, the morphological effects of the glo-d.1006 mutant in the Bowman backcross-derived line BW395 were slightly less than observed with BW223. BW224 plants with cur4.i was morphologically similar to BW223 plants (4). The delayed heading and more kernels per spike of the BW lines for cur4 mutants could be attributed to retention of the late maturity allele at the Eam6 or mat-c (early maturity 6 or praematurum-c) locus in 2HS (4).
