BGS 255, Xantha seedling 5, xnt5
Stock number: BGS 255
Locus name: Xantha seedling 5
Locus symbol: xnt5
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Yellow seedling (3).
Xantha seedling n = xn (4).
Xantha seedling n = xn (4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (1).
Located in chromosome 6HL (1, 5); xnt5.e is about 25.0 cM distal from the rob1 (orange lemma 1) locus (5); xnt5.e is about 18.8 cM distal from the lax-b (laxatum-b) locus (2).

Description:
Seedlings have a pale yellow color and do not survive beyond the two or three leaf stage (1). The xnt5.e gene must be maintained as a heterozygous stock.
