BGS 492, Laxatum-if, lax-if
Stock number: BGS 492
Locus name: Laxatum-if
Locus symbol: lax-if
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Laxatum-246 = lax-246 (3, 4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5), but partially sterile F1 plants indicated that a translocation was present in lax-if.246 (5).
Location is unknown.
Description:
Rachis internodes of lax-if.246 were about equal to those of Foma at normal sowing distances, but rachis internodes were a little longer at lower sowing densities (4). Spikes that emerged earlier had slightly longer rachis internodes than later emerging spikes (4).
