BGS 409, Eceriferum-o, cer-o

BGN  40:106
Stock number: BGS 409
Locus name: Eceriferum-o
Locus symbol: cer-o

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

None.

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (3).
Located in chromosome 1HL (1); cer-o.28 is associated with SNP markers 2_0229 to 1_0006 (positions 106.61 to 110.10 cM) in 1H bin 10 of the Bowman backcrossed-derived line BW119 (1), in 1H bin 10.

Description:

Surface wax coating on the spike appears absent or reduced (wax code -/+ ++ ++) (3). All cer-o mutants have pointed lateral spikelets and semi-sterility (50 to 75% seed set). Mutant segregates in the Bowman backcross-derived progenies were about 3/4 of normal height and had spikes with about 20% fewer fertile rachis nodes. Plants of Bowman backcross-derived line BW119 headed about two days later than Bowman and were about 15% shorter. Kernel weights were 10-15% lower and grain yields were about half those of Bowman (2).

Origin of mutant:

A gamma-ray induced mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (1).

Mutational events:

cer-o.28 (NGB 110912, GSHO 436) in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (3, 4); cer-o.687 (NGB 111575), -o.787 (NGB 11675) in Bonus (5); cer-o.251 (NGB 111138) in Foma (NGB 14659, CIho 11333), -o.1144 (NGB 112032) in Kristina (NGB 1500, NGB 14661) (6).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

cer-o.28 (NGB 110912, GSHO 436) in Bonus; cer-o.28 in Bowman (PI 483237)*5 (GSHO 2193); cer-o.28 in Bowman*7 (BW119, NGB 20525).
