BGS 483, Laxatum l, lax-l
Stock number: BGS 483
Locus name: Laxatum l
Locus symbol: lax-l
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Laxatum-60 = lax-60 (5, 6).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (7).
Located likely in chromosome 1H (1); lax-l.60 is associated with SNP markers 1_0744 to 2_1126 (positions 39.84 to 110.10 cM) in 1H bins 03 to 10 and with small groups of SNP markers in chromosome arms 3HL and 7HS of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW468 (1).
Description:
Rachis internodes of lax-l.60 were about 23% longer than those of Bonus (6). Spikes exhibited tip sterility, awns were slightly twisted, leaf blades were relatively broad, and kernels were large and angular (6). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for lax-l.60, BW468, had visually longer rachis internodes (4).

Origin of mutant:
An ethylene imine induced mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (6, 8).
Mutational events:

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
