BGS 224, Erectoides-b, ert-b
Stock number: BGS 224
Locus name: Erectoides-b
Locus symbol: ert-b
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Erectoides-2 = ert-2 (3, 5).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3, 4).
Located in chromosome 1HL (9, 10, 11, 12, 13); ert-b.2 is slightly distal from the cer-e (eceriferum-e) locus (6, 13, 14); errt-b.2 is about 19.3 cM proximal from the nec1 (necrotic leaf spot 1) locus (7); ert-b.2 is associated with SNP markers 1_0259 to 1_0520 (positions 70.78 to 82.35 cM) in 1H bins 07 - 08 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW304 (1), likely in 1H bin 08.

Description:
Spikes have a compact appearance caused by a reduction in rachis internode length, with rachis internode length values from 1.9 to 2.3 mm. Culms are shorter than those of parental cultivars (12). GA3 treatment of plants as the flag leaf emerges decreased spike density (15). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for ert-b.2 (BW304) had slightly shortened peduncles and were about 5/6 of normal height. Rachis internode lengths were 3.5 vs. 4.4 mm. Kernels were slightly shorter and wider, and weights were about 10% higher. Grain yields were about 3/4 of normal (2).
