BGS 125, Lazy dwarf 1, lzd1

BGN  43:87
Stock number: BGS 125
Locus name: Lazy dwarf 1
Locus symbol: lzd1

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Dwarf 4 = dw4 (3).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (4, 6).
Located in chromosome 3H (5, 6); lzd1.a is over 16.3 cM distal from the alm1 (albino lemma 1) locus (5, 6); lzd1.a is associated with SNP markers 2_0356 to 2_1120 (positions 72.36 to 98.41 cM) in 3H bins 05 to 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW499 (1).

Description:

Plants have a very procumbent growth habit prior to the boot stage. Plants are 3/4 normal height, maturity is delayed, and seedlings are very responsive to gibberellic acid (4, 6). Leaf blades of the Bowman backcross-derived line for lzd1.a, BW499, were about 2/3 the length of those of Bowman. BW499 plants headed 3 to 4 days later than Bowman under long days, but up to 10 days later under short-day conditions (2). The spike of BW499 often had 2 to 3 more kernels than Bowman, plants were 5 to 10% shorter, and kernels had slight smaller dimensions and weighed about 10% less, 5.0 vs. 5.6 mg. The grain yields of BW499 were 2/3 to 3/4 those of Bowman (2).

Origin of mutant:

An ethyl methanesulfonate induced mutant in Akashinriki (OUJ659, PI 467400) (3).

Mutational events:

lzd1.a (OUM005, GSHO 1787) in Akashinriki (OUJ659, PI 467400) (4, 6).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

lzd1.a (GSHO 1787) in Akashinriki; lzd1.a in Bowman (PI 483237)*8 (GSHO 1938, BW499, NGB 20727).
