BGS 420, Eceriferum-zb, cer-zb

BGN  42:508
Stock number: BGS 420
Locus name: Eceriferum-zb
Locus symbol: cer-zb

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

None.

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (3).
Located in chromosome 5HS (1); cer-zb.38 is associated with SNP markers 1_1198 to 2_0306 (positions 73.70 to 88.81 cM) in 5H bins 04 to 05 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW158 (1).

Description:

Surface wax coating on the spike appears absent (wax code - ++ ++), and all cer-zb mutants have pointed lateral spikelets, reduced fertility and narrow leaves (3). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for cer-zb.38, BW158, showed reduced vigor, small spikes (about 2/3 normal), and short, narrow leaves (2). Heading dates for BW158 were 2 to 10 days later than Bowman; plants were about 2/3 normal height; and the number of kernels per spike varied from 60% to almost normal. Kernels of BW158 were slight longer and thinner than those of Bowman and weighted 40 to 50% less. Grain yields of BW158 varied from 10 to 30% of the Bowman yields (2).

Origin of mutant:

A gamma-ray induced mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (3).

Mutational events:

cer-zb.38 (NGB 110922, GSHO 1522) in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (3, 4); cer-zb.105 (NGB 110990) in Bonus, -zb.279 (NGB 111166) in Foma (NGB 14659, CIho 11333) (4, 8); cer-zb.1164 (NGB 112052) in Kristina (NGB 1500, 14661) (5); cer-zb.1279 (NGB 112167) in Kristina (6); cer-zb.1273 (NGB 112161) in Kristina (7).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

cer-zb.38 (NGB 110922, GSHO 1522) in Bonus; cer-zb.38 in Bowman (PI 483237)*5 (GSHO 2196); cer-zb.38 in Bowman*7 (BW158, NGB 21990).
