BGS 428, Eceriferum-zj, cer-zj

None.

Monofactorial recessive (12).
Located in chromosome 5HL (2, 13); cer-zj.78 is about 11.4 cM proximal from the cer-t (eceriferum-t) locus (13, 14, 15, 16); cer-zj.78 is about 4.8 cM distal from the ert-g (erectoides-g) locus (15, 16); cer-zj.78 is associated with SNP markers 1_1198 to 2_1148 (positions 73.70 to 87.73 cM) in 5H bins 04 to 05 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW166 (1).

Surface wax coating on the leaf blade appears absent (wax code ++ ++ -) (12). Concerning the chemical epicuticular wax composition, the amount of surface wax cm-2 is reduced and is accompanied by a decrease of the size and morphological complexity of the wax bodies. The amount of aldehydes is slightly increased, and no diketones are observed. Wax bodies are smaller and simpler and less densely scattered over the surface than those of the wild type (17, 18). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for cer-zj.78, BW166, lodged easily than Bowman and the grain yields of BW166 were about 1/3 lower than those of Bowman. Other agronomic traits of BW166 were similar to those of Bowman (3).

An X-ray induced mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (12).
