BGS 472, Accordion basal rachis internode 1, abr1
Stock number: BGS 472
Locus name: Accordion basal rachis internode 1
Locus symbol: abr1
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Laxatum-3 = lax-3 (1, 2, 3).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2, 3).
Located in chromosome 2HL (5); abr1.a is about 7.4 cM proximal from the fch15 (chlorina seedling 15) locus (5); abr1.a is about 6.3 cM proximal from the Gth1 (Toothed lemma 1) locus (6).

Description:
Rachis internodes in the upper part of the spike are about 12% longer than normal. Secondary and tertiary shoots may form at the accordion-like basal rachis nodes (2, 5). Manifestation of the extra shoots may be a day-length response and genotype dependent. Heading is delayed in the Bowman backcross-derived line. Recombination with the eog1.a (elongated outer glume) allele has not been observed (5, 6), and recombination with the vrs1.a (six-rowed spike 1) allele is low (6).
