BGS 390, Desynapsis 11, des11
Stock number: BGS 390
Locus name: Desynapsis 11
Locus symbol: des11
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Desynapsis r = des,,r (3, 5).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3, 5).
Located in chromosome 3HL (1); des11.r is associated with SNP markers 2_0931 to 2_0168 (positions 104.39 to 173.82 cM) in 3H bins 07 to 11 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW231 (1).
Description:
The chromosomes are paired during pachytene and undergo desynapsis during diplotene and diakinesis. The average degree of desynapsis is 5.7, ranged from 6 ring bivalents plus one rod bivalent (d = 1) to 2 rod bivalents plus 10 univalents (d = 12). Ovule fertility is about 40% (4). When crossed with the non-allelic desynaptic mutants des4.d and des5.e, the F1's frequently showed a low degree of desynapsis (up to 3 rod bivalents). When crossed with des7.j, the F1's show a low to medium degree of desynapsis (d = 1.8), ranging from 7 ring bivalents (d = 0) to 4 ring bivalents plus 4 rod bivalents (d = 5), and there are lagging chromosomes and micronuclei at telophase I (4). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for des11.r, BW231, were slightly taller than Bowman and kernels often weighed slightly more. Grain yields of BW231 were 20% lower than those for Bowman (2).
