BGS 94, Albino seedling 4, abo4
Stock number: BGS 94
Locus name: Albino seedling 4
Locus symbol: abo4
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Albino 3 = a3 (2).
Albino seedling 4 = a4 (3).
Albino seedling 4 = a4 (3).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (1, 2).
Located in chromosome 2H (1, 2); abo4.d is located 5.0 to 10.2 cM from the fch1 (chlorina seedling 1) locus (1, 2); about 12.5 cM from the abo5 (albino seedling 5) locus (1).

Description:
Seedlings lack normal pigmentation; they are white and die at a two or three leaf stage (1, 2). The abo4.d gene must be maintained as a heterozygous stock.
