BGS 21, Reaction to Ustilago nuda 1 (loose smut), Run1
Stock number: BGS 21
Locus name: Reaction to Ustilago nuda 1 (loose smut)
Locus symbol: Run1
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Resistance to Ustilago nuda = Un (3).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial dominant (2, 6).
Located in chromosome 7HS (1, 5); Run1.a is about 2.0 cM proximal from the Rpg1 (reaction to Puccinia graminis 1) locus (1, 5); Run1.a is about 12.7 cM distal from the wax1 (waxy endosperm 1) locus (1, 5); Run1.a is about 15.1 cM distal from the nud1 (naked caryopsis 1) locus (8).
Description:
Plants have a dominant gene, which controls a resistant reaction to "non-Trebi-attacking" cultures of Ustilago nuda and to cultures capable of infecting the "Jet" type of resistance (7).

Origin of mutant:
Natural occurrence in Trebi (PI 537442) (2, 4).
Mutational events:
Run1.a in Trebi (PI 537442, GSHO 1324) (4, 5, 7).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
Run1.a in Trebi (GSHO 1324).
