BGS 261, Necrotic leaf spot 2, nec2
Stock number: BGS 261
Locus name: Necrotic leaf spot 2
Locus symbol: nec2
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Mutant no 7 (1).
Necrotic leaf spots 2 = nec2b (2).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (1).
Located in chromosome 6HS (1); nec2.b is about 5.2 cM from the rob1 (orange lemma 1) locus (3).
Description:
Small, dark brown necrotic spots appear on the leaves of field grown plants 3 to 6 weeks after germination. Margins of the spots have poor demarcation, and the expression of necrotic spot is not good some years (3).
