BGS 51, Rattail spike 1, rtt1
Stock number: BGS 51
Locus name: Rattail spike 1
Locus symbol: rtt1
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Rattail spike = rt (2).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (1).
Located in chromosome 2HS (1); rtt1.a is about 6.0 cM distal from the fch15 (chlorina seedling 15) locus (1). in 2H bin 05 or 06.
Located in chromosome 2HS (1); rtt1.a is about 6.0 cM distal from the fch15 (chlorina seedling 15) locus (1). in 2H bin 05 or 06.
Description:
Spikes are highly modified with numerous immature spikelets and complete sterility. The arrangement of bracts in the spikelets suggests that they contain numerous spikelets. Because the homozygous recessive is completely sterile, the stock must be maintained in the heterozygous condition (1). A photograph of the rattail spikes is available (4, 5). A semidominant interaction between rtt1.a and one version of the normal allele (Rt' or Rtt1.b)Rt' ) in Okaiku 3 was reported by Takahashi et al. (3).
