BGS 627, Viviparoides-a, viv-a
Stock number: BGS 627
Locus name: Viviparoides-a
Locus symbol: viv-a
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Viviparoides-5 = viv-5 (4, 5).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3, 5).
Location in chromosome 2H (2); viv-a.5 is associated with SNP markers 2_0177 to 2_0528 (positions 63.96 to 116.78 cM) in 2H bins 05 to 08 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW896 (2).
Location in chromosome 2H (2); viv-a.5 is associated with SNP markers 2_0177 to 2_0528 (positions 63.96 to 116.78 cM) in 2H bins 05 to 08 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW896 (2).
Description:
Tillers of viv-a plants may remain vegetative and fail to produce reproductive structures. The apex of the tillers remains vegetative as the culm elongates. Occasionally a short, malformed spike is formed in a lateral position (1, 5). For the Bowman backcross-derived line for viv-a-.5, BW896, only a few tiller exhibit the typical viviparoides phenotype in most environments. BW896 plants were 5 to 20 cM shorter than Bowman and they lodged easily. Peduncle and awn lengths were slightly reduced and heading was delayed about six days. Kernels of BW896 were thinner, 3.5 vs. 4.0 mm, and weighed less, 4.2 vs. 5.6 mg. Grain production varied almost none to nearly 50% of that for Bowman (3).
