BGS 53, Albino seedling 2, abo2
Stock number: BGS 53
Locus name: Albino seedling 2
Locus symbol: abo2
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Albino 1 = a1 (2).
Albino seedling 2 = a2 (4).
Albino seedling 2 = a2 (4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (1, 2).
Located in chromosome 2HS (4); abo2.b is about 13.0 cM distal from the fch1 (chlorina seedling 1) locus (4); abo2.b is about 5.5 cM proximal from the fch15 (chlorina seedling 15) locus (4); abo2.b is over 9.4 cM distal from the msg2 (male sterile genetic 2) locus (3).

Description:
Seedlings lack normal pigmentation; they are white and die at a two or three leaf stage (1, 2). Robertson’s notes indicate that an albino 4 stock [abo4 (a4)] may have been used in his linkage studies instead of the albino 2 stock [abo2 (a2)] (4). The abo2.b gene must be maintained as a heterozygous stock.
