BGS 271, Albino seedling 15, abo15
Stock number: BGS 271
Locus name: Albino seedling 15
Locus symbol: abo15
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Albino seedling t = alb,,t (2).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2).
Located in chromosome 6HS (1, 2); abo15.t is over 28.9 cM distal from the msg6 (male sterile genetic 6) locus (2); abo15.t is over 39.0 cM distal from the rob1 (orange lemma 1) locus (2).
Description:
Seedlings have a white color and die at the two to three leaf stage (1). The abo15.t gene must be maintained as a heterozygous stock.
