BGS 585, Praematurum-i, mat-i

BGN  45:214
Stock number: BGS 585
Locus name: Praematurum-i
Locus symbol: mat-i

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Praematurum-37 = mat-37 (7).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (4).
Located in chromosome 7HL (1); mat-i.37 is associated with SNP markers 1_0885 to 3_0593 (positions 192.14 to 198.70 cM) in 7H bins 11 to 12 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW514 (1).

Description:

Early heading mutants at the mat-i locus have a drastic increase in earliness (heading 6 days earlier than the parents) under field cultivation in Sweden (6, 7). When grown under controlled environmental conditions, mutants are photo- and thermoperiod sensitive and have a pronounced long-day response (5). Spikes of mutants are relatively short (7). The expression of earliness was relatively strong in BW514, the Bowman backcross-derived line for mat-i.37, was about 4 days earlier heading under long days and up to 15 days earlier under short days (2). Depend on heading dates, BW514 plants were 10 to 40% shorter than Bowman plants and grain yields were up to 50% lower (2).

Origin of mutant:

An ethylene imine induced mutant in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (7).

Mutational events:

mat-i.37 (NGB 110037, GSHO 1795), -i.76 (NGB 110076) in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763), -i.303 (NGB 110303) in Foma (NGB 14659, CIho 11333), -i.742 (NGB 110742) in Kristina (NGB 14661, NGB 1500), -i.901 (NGB 116856), -i.914 (NGB 117445) in Bonus (5, 6, 7).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

mat-i.37 (NGB 110037, GSHO 1795) in Bonus; mat-i.37 in Bowman (PI 483237)*3 (GSHO 2287); mat-i.37 in Bowman*7 (BW514, NGB 20742).
