BGS 462, Yellow streak 3, yst3

BGN  44:163
Stock number: BGS 462
Locus name: Yellow streak 3
Locus symbol: yst3

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Yellow streak c = yst,,c (4).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (3, 4).
Located in chromosome 3HS (3); yst3.c is linked to the btr2 (non-brittle rachis 2) locus based on linkage drag (3); trisomic analyses of the yst3 locus have not been successful (5, 6, 7); yst3.c is associated with SNP markers 2_1101 to 2_0704 (positions 74.51 to 98.41 cM) in 3H bins 05 to 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW926 (1).

Description:

Yellow streaks of variable width and number develop in the leaves, stems, and spikes of homozygous plants. Some plants are almost entirely yellow, similar to chlorina plants. Penetrance is 100%, but expressivity is highly variable and finding streaks may require careful observation. Colder environments increase the number and width of the yellow streaks (2). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for yst3.c, BW926, headed 3 to 4 days later than Bowman. Spikes had about 3 more kernels and kernel weight were about 10% lower, 48 vs. 55 mg. The grain yields for BW926 were 40 to 60% of the Bowman yields (2).

Origin of mutant:

A spontaneous mutant in Lion (CIho 923) (4).

Mutational events:

yst3.c (GSHO 48) in Lion (CIho 923) (4).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

yst3.c (GSHO 48) in Lion; yst3.c in Bowman (PI 483237)*6 (GSHO 1939); yst3.c in Bowman*7 (BW926, NGB 22355).
