BGS 587, Albino seedling 3, abo3

BGN  26:514
Stock number: BGS 587
Locus name: Albino seedling 3
Locus symbol: abo3

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Albino 2 = a2 (2).
Albino seedling 2 = a2 (3).
Albina seedling-za = alb-za (5).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (1, 2).
Location is unknown.

Description:

Seedlings lack normal pigmentation; they are white and die at a two or three leaf stage (1, 2). The abo3.c gene must be maintained as a heterozygous stock.

Origin of mutant:

A spontaneous mutant in an unknown cultivar (1).

Mutational events:

abo3.c (a2, GSHO 165) in an unknown cultivar (3); alb-za.111 (NGB 14781) in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (4, 5, 6).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

abo3.c (GSHO 165) in an unknown cultivar; alb-za.111 (NGB 14781) in Bonus.
