BGS 152, Hooded lemma 1, Kap1

BGN  26:179
Stock number: BGS 152
Locus name: Hooded lemma 1
Locus symbol: Kap1

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Hooded lemma= K (9).
Hooded lemma = A (10).
Hooded = C1 (3).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial dominant (1, 3, 8).
Located in chromosome 4HS (1); Kap1.a is about 25.1 cM proximal from the glf3 (glossy leaf 3) locus (6).

Description:

The hooded ("Kapuze") trait is characterized by an appendage to the lemma, which develops as a trifurcate structure consisting of a deformed floret at its center with two triangular leaf-like projections called lemma wings. The supernumerary floret often contains stamens with fertile pollen grains and occasionally bears a kernel within it (5, 6, 11). The ectopic expression of the Kap1.a allele forms the extra floret and is associated with the presence of a 305-base pair duplication in intron 4 of the Knox3 sequence (4).

Origin of mutant:

Natural occurrence in many cultivars (5, 7); probably one spontaneous event early during the domestication of barley (4).

Mutational events:

Kap1.a in an unknown cultivar (4, 7); Kap1.e (Ke, elevated hooded) a mutant of the Kap1.a allele in an unknown cultivar, Chengchou 5) (4, 7).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

Kap1.a in Colsess (GSHO 985); Kap1.a from Strip Tease (CIho 6837) in Betzes (PI 129430)*7 (PI 533600, Haybet), Kap1.a from CIho 2220 in Compana (PI 537442)*7 (PI 534506) (2); Kap1.a from R.I. Wolfe's Multiple Dominant Marker Stock in Bowman (PI 483237)*8 (GSHO 2007, BW431, NGB 20663).
