BGS 363, Male sterile genetic 7, msg7
Stock number: BGS 363
Locus name: Male sterile genetic 7
Locus symbol: msg7
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Male sterile 7 = ms7 (6).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (6).
Located in chromosome 5HL (2); msg7.cg is about 5.5 cM from the raw1 (smooth awn 1) locus (2). the plant of the Bowman backcross-derived line for msg7.cg stock, BW590, evaluated for SNP markers did not have any deviant markers in 5H from those of Bowman (2).
Description:
Selfing - none (6).
Outcrossing - complete female fertility (6).
Stamens - anthers much smaller than fertile sibs, no stomium or filament elongation (8).
Pollen - microspores degenerate before the free microspore stage, non-staining, no free grains (8, 9).
Cytology - normal development and differentiation of anthers until completion of meiosis, but degeneration of tapetal tissue at the tetrad stage (9).

Origin of mutant:
A spontaneous mutant in Dekap (CIho 3351) (5).
Mutational events:
msg7.cg (MSS055, GSHO 2406) in Dekap (CIho 3351) (3, 5); msg7.ah (MSS099) in HB 421/78 (CIho 13641) (3, 7); msg7.fx (MSS425) in Proctor (PI 269153) (4, 5).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
msg7.cg (GSHO 2406) in Dekap; msg7.cg in Bowman (PI 483237)*7 (GSHO 2109, BW590, NGB 24811).
