BGS 602, Anthocyanin-rich 20, ant20
Stock number: BGS 602
Locus name: Anthocyanin-rich 20
Locus symbol: ant20
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Rubrum = rub (1).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive ( 3, 5).
Location is unknown.
Description:
Compared to their mother varieties, mutant plants synthesize an increased amount of anthocyanin in their vegetative parts. All mutant alleles develop bright red anthocyanin pigmentation in the awns. (2, 4).
