BGS 181, Early maturity 9, eam9
Stock number: BGS 181
Locus name: Early maturity 9
Locus symbol: eam9
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Early maturity c = ea,,c (3, 4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3).
Located in chromosome 4HL (3); eam9.l is over 17.4 cM distal from the Kap1 (Hooded lemma 1) locus (4); eam9.l is over 15.6 cM proximal from the glf3 (glossy leaf 3) locus (4).
Located in chromosome 4HL (3); eam9.l is over 17.4 cM distal from the Kap1 (Hooded lemma 1) locus (4); eam9.l is over 15.6 cM proximal from the glf3 (glossy leaf 3) locus (4).
Description:
Plants are about 4 weeks earlier under short-day conditions. At Kurashiki, Japan, maturity and agronomic effects of the eam9.l allele are similar to those of the photoperiod insensitive gene eam8.k (early maturity 8) (4, 5). The eam9 is not allelic to several other early maturity genes that alter photoperiod sensitivity (1).

Origin of mutant:
Natural occurrence in Chinese cultivars from the lower basin of the Yangtze River (3).
Mutational events:
eam9.l (GSHO 1732) in Tayeh 8 (OUC634) (3); Pao-an-chen 1 (OUC336), Pai-sha-pu 1 (OUC029), Mushin-chiang 3 (Mokusekko 3, OUC627, PI 420938), Yanghsin 2 (OUC327) (2, 3).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
eam9.l (GSHO 1732) in Tayeh 8 [eam9.l from DH6 in Bowman (PI 483237)*5 (GSHO 3422, BW291, NGB 20575), but the earliness gene in Bowman backcross lines is likely Eam5.x.]
