BGS 239, Scirpoides-b, sci-b
Stock number: BGS 239
Locus name: Scirpoides-b
Locus symbol: sci-b
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Scirpoides-1 = sci-4 (3).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2).
The location is limited to chromosomes 1H or 6H based on SNP markers retained in the Bowman backcross-derived line BW771 (1), sci-b.4 is between 1_0259 to 2_0780 (positions 70.78 to 154.89 cM) in 1H bins 07 to 11 or between 1_0061 and 2_0118 (positions 70.15 to 156.09 cM) in 6H bins 06 to 09 (1).

Description:
Plants expressing sci-b.4 gene have narrow leaves and lower leaf blades are folded inward (4). In the Bowman backcross-derived line for sci-b.4, BW771, rachis internodes were slightly elongated. BW771 plants were 2/3 to almost normal height; kernels were slightly smaller and lighter: and seed yields were about 3/4 of normal (2). Based on differences in morphology compared to the sci-a (scirpoides-a) mutants and different chromosomal segments retained in their Bowman backcross-derived lines (1), a new locus name is assigned.
