BGS 552, Breviaristatum-j, ari-j

BGN  44:186
Stock number: BGS 552
Locus name: Breviaristatum-j
Locus symbol: ari-j

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Breviaristatum-32 = ari-32 (3, 4).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (4).
Chromosome location is unknown (1); ari-j.32 is not associated with any SNP markers in the Bowman backcross-derived line BW048 (1).

Description:

Plants are semidwarf (3/4 of normal culm length) and awns are about 5/6 normal length. The peduncle is short and coiled or kinked, and as a result the spike rarely emerges above the flag leaf (4). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for ari-j.32, BW048, headed 3 to 4 days later than Bowman. BW048 plants and their peduncles were about 2/3 normal length and awns were about 2 cm shorter. Compared to Bowman, kernels of BW048 were shorter and thinner and weighed less, 47 vs. 59 mg. Grain yields for BW048 were 1/2 to 2/3 of those for Bowman (2).

Origin of mutant:

An ethylene imine induced mutant in Bonus (NGB14657, PI 189763) (4).

Mutational events:

ari-j.32 (NGB 115881, GSHO 1658) in Bonus (NGB14657, PI 189763) (4); ari-j.101 (NGB 115914) in Foma (NGB 14659, CIho 11333) (3); ari-j.167 (NGB 115977) in Foma (4).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

ari-j.32 (NGB 115881, GSHO 1658) in Bonus; ari-j.32 in Bowman (PI 483237)*5 (GSHO 2159); ari-j.32 in Bowman*8 (BW048, NGB 20456).
