BGS 486, Laxatum-o, lax-o
Stock number: BGS 486
Locus name: Laxatum-o
Locus symbol: lax-o
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Laxatum-79 = lax-79 (3, 4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5).
Location is unknown.
Description:
Rachis internodes of lax-o.79 were about 14% longer than those of Bonus (4). Plants were relatively vigorous, rachis nodes in the upper part of the spike had enlarged sterile lateral spikelets, some sterile spikelets were observed, awn length was reduced, and kernels were relatively long (4).
