BGS 473, Compositum 1, com1
Stock number: BGS 473
Locus name: Compositum 1
Locus symbol: com1
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Laxatum-270 = lax-270 (5, 7, 9).
Short-haired, inflorescent rachilla = si (7).
Branching, inflorescent rachilla = bir1a (8).
Compositum = com1a (9, 10, 11).
Short-haired, inflorescent rachilla = si (7).
Branching, inflorescent rachilla = bir1a (8).
Compositum = com1a (9, 10, 11).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (7, 8, 9).
Located in chromosome 5HL (11, 12); com1.a is near the srh1 (short rachilla hair 1) locus (12); com1.a is between the ert-n (erectoides-n) and the lax-a (laxatum-a) loci (11), but widely different estimates of their distance from the srh1 (short rachilla hair 1) locus are reported (6, 11); com1.a is associated with SNP markers 1_0974 to 1_0641 (positions 41.99 to 108.33 cM) in 5H of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW189 (1); com1.l is associated with SNP markers 3_0745 to 1_0641 (positions 99.51 to 108.33 cM) in 5HL of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW605 (1), likely in 5H bin 06.

Description:
The spike is branched from the rachis of the bottom 1 to 10 spikelets. Awns, which vary from normal to thread-like, and protruding branches are bent in various directions because of "packing" problems in the boot (7). More spike branches develop from rachis nodes under favorable environmental conditions. Plants of Bowman backcross-derived lines BW189, BW190, and BW605 had slightly lower kernel weight and test weights compared to Bowman. The average kernel width was slightly reduced (3).
