Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3, 5, 10).
Located in chromosome 6HL (4, 9, 10), ert-e is about 27.2 cM distal from the xnt5 (xantha seedling 5) locus (4), over 26.9 cM distal from the Aat2 (Aspartate aminotransferase 2) locus (13); ert-e.17 is associated with SNP markers 2_0467 to 2_0733 (positions 169.88 to 180.69 cM) in 6H bin 11 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW307 (1); dsp9.i is associated with SNP markers 1_0645 to 2_1425 (positions 190.39 to 207.0 cM) in 6H bins 11 to 15 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW279 (1).

Description:
Spikes are very compact with rachis internode length values from 1.2 to 1.5 mm. Plants are about 2/3 normal height. Partial fertility and reduced vigor are noted among ert-e mutants. The peduncle is very short and spikes often emerge from the side of the flag sheath (9, 11). A large deficiency of mutant plants is frequently noted in segregating populations (9). Spike density decreases greatly when plants are treated with gibberellic acid (GA3) as the flag leaf emerges (12). The mutant ert-e.17 is allelic to mutant dsp9.i (dense spike 9, see BGS 258) (2). Compared to Bowman, plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for ert-e.17, BW307, were about 2/3 as tall and had very short rachis internodes, 2.0 vs. 4.4 mm. Peduncles were 3/4 normal length, kernels were10 to 20% lighter, and grain yields were 1/3 to 1/2 those of Bowman (2).
