BGS 354, Glossy sheath 4, gsh4

BGN  41:146
Stock number: BGS 354
Locus name: Glossy sheath 4
Locus symbol: gsh4

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Glossy sheath 4 = gs4 (19).
Eceriferum-x = cer-x (7).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (7, 19).
Located in chromosome 6HL (17, 18, 19); gsh4.l is near the centromere and less than 3.0 cM distal from the rob1 (orange lemma 1) locus (2, 3, 5); gsh4.l with rob1.a is associated with SNP markers 1_0355 to 2_0118 (positions 73.90 to 156.09 cM) of 6H bins 06 to 09 in Bowman backcross-derived line BW407; cer-x.60 is associated with SNP markers 2_0675 to 2_0118 (positions 82.43 to 156.09 cM) of 6H bins 06 to 09 in Bowman backcross-derived line BW126 (1), likely in 6H bin 06 proximal from the rob1 locus.

Description:

Surface wax coating appears absent on the spike, leaf sheath, and stem (wax code - - ++) (7, 17). Only traces of the β-diketone wax classes and alkan-2-ol containing esters occurred in the cer-x.60 mutant based on evaluation of the chemical epicuticular wax composition (20, 21). A reduction in the long-chain n-alkanes occurs in the cer-x.60 mutant without affecting the chain-length distributions of the minor hydrocarbons (22). Kernel weights for the Bowman backcross-derived lines, BW126 with cer-x.60 and BW407 with gsh4.l, were often about 10% les than those for Bowman. Grain yields averaged about 3/4 those of Bowman (4).

Origin of mutant:

A radiation induced mutant in Gateway (CIho 10072) (16, 17); an ethylene imine induced mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (7).
