BGS 393, Desynapsis 14, des14
Stock number: BGS 393
Locus name: Desynapsis 14
Locus symbol: des14
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Desynapsis u = des,,u (3, 5).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3, 5).
Located in chromosome 7H (1); des14.u is associated mainly with SNP markers 1_0838 to 1_0485 (positions 49.53 to 121.90 cM) in 7H bins 04 to 07 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW235 (1).
Description:
The chromosomes are paired during pachytene and undergo desynapsis during diplotene and diakinesis. The average degree of desynapsis is 4.8, ranging from 7 ring bivalents (d = 0) to 1 rod bivalent plus 12 univalents (d = 13). Lagging chromosomes and micronuclei are observed frequently at telophase I. Ovule fertility is about 35% (4). The selfed seed set of the Bowman backcross-derived line for des14.u, BW235, was 40 to 50% and it yielded about half as much grain as Bowman. Kernels of BW235 averaged 5 to 10% lighter than those of Bowman (2).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
des14.u (GSHO 605) in Betzes; des14.u in Bowman (PI 483237)*6 (BW235, NGB 22062).
