BGS 434, Eceriferum-zq, cer-zq
Stock number: BGS 434
Locus name: Eceriferum-zq
Locus symbol: cer-zq
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (7).
Location is unknown. The one donor parent SNP marker retained in the Bowman backcross-derived line for cer-zq.248 (BW172) was not mapped (1).

Description:
Surface wax coating on the leaf blades appears absent, but only on the three upper leaf blades (wax code ++ ++ -) (7). Plants of the original stock remain as a vegetative tuft for a long time before heading (7). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for cer-zq.248 (BW172) had thin, short culms, about 70% of normal. Comparing BW172 plants to Bowman plants, awns were 2/3 normal, leaf blades were shorter and narrower, and spikes had few kernels, 16 vs. 22. BW172 plants headed about 3 days later and were very susceptible to lodging at maturity. Kernels of BW172 were thinner, 3.6 vs. 3.9 mm, and about 25% lighter. Average grain yield was less than 50% of that for Bowman (2).
