International Database for Barley Genes and Barley Genetic Stocks
BGS 609, Proanthocyanidin-free 29, ant29
Stock number: BGS 609
Locus name: Proanthocyanidin-free 29
Locus symbol: ant29
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2).
Location is unknown.
Description:
Mutant plants synthesize a wild type amount of anthocyanins in the vegetative parts. Under stress conditions the mutant grains can produce a varying but always small amount of proanthocyanidins. Compared to the wild type the proanthocyanidin content is clearly decreased (2).
