Stock number: BGS 360
Locus name: Male sterile genetic 4
Locus symbol: msg4
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Male sterile 4 = ms4 (2).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2).
Located in chromosome 1H (3); msg4.cd is near the centromere (3); msg4.cd is associated with SNP markers 2_0617 to 1_0552 (positions 50.96 to 88.33 cM) in 1H bins 05 to 08 of a heterozygous plant from the Bowman backcross-derived stock BW576 (1).
Description:
Selfing - none (2).
Outcrossing - complete female fertility (2).
Stamens - anthers smaller than fertile sib, no stomium or filament elongation (5).
Pollen - non-staining, shrunken, and no normal grains (5).
