BGS 446, Eceriferum-yc, cer-yc

BGN  41:172
Stock number: BGS 446
Locus name: Eceriferum-yc
Locus symbol: cer-yc

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

None.

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (4).
Location in chromosome 6H or 7HS (1); cer-yc.135 is associated with SNP markers 1_0061 to 1_1261 (positions 70.15 to 107.26 cM) in 6H bins 05 to 07 and SNP markers 2_1419 to 1_0838 (positions 0.0 to 49.53 cM) in 7H bins 01 to 04 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW134 (2);

Description:

Surface wax coating on the spike appears absent (wax code - ++ ++) (3). Surface wax on the leaf sheath appears reduced in the Bowman backcross-derived line (wax code - + ++). The long-chain n-alkanes on the spike were reduced without greatly altering the chain-length distributions of the minor hydrocarbons (7). Compared to Bowman, the Bowman backcross-derived line for cer-yc.135, BW134, had kernels that were slightly smaller with weights about 10% less. Grain yields for BW134 were about 3/4 those for Bowman. Other morphological differs from Bowman were not observed (2).

Origin of mutant:

An ethylene imine mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (1).

Mutational events:

cer-yc.135 (NGB 111020, GSHO 1536) in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (4); cer-yc.523 (NGB 111411) in Foma (NGB 14659, CIho 11333) (5); cer-yc.438 (NGB 111326), -yc.439 (NGB 111327) in Foma, -yc.783 (NGB 111671 in Bonus (6).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

cer-yc.135 (NGB 111020, GSHO 1536) in Bonus; cer-yc.135 in Bowman (PI 483237)*3 (GSHO 2211); cer-yc.135 in Bowman*5 (BW134, NGB 20540).
