BGS 594, Anthocyanin-deficient 3, ant3
Stock number: BGS 594
Locus name: Anthocyanin-deficient 3
Locus symbol: ant3
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Exrubrum = rub (1).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3).
Location is unknown.
Description:
There is no anthocyanin pigmentation in the vegetative parts of the mutant plants except for the lemmas. Slight anthocyanin pigmentation has been observed in the lemmas of the mutant grains. All three mutant alleles have short stems and are late in development compared to the mother varieties (2, 4).
