BGS 720, Viviparoides-c, viv-c
Stock number: BGS 720
Locus name: Viviparoides-c
Locus symbol: viv-c
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Viviparoides-1 = viv-1 (4, 5).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5).
Location in chromosome 5H (2); viv-c.1 is associated with SNP markers 2_0761 to 2_1239 (positions 43.06 to 107.53 cM) in 5H bins 02 to 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW890 (2).

Description:
Tillers of the viv-c.1 plants in the original mutant stock often remained vegetative and fail to produce reproductive structures. The apex of the tillers remains vegetative as new phytomers are added, but occasionally a short, malformed spike develops. In these spikes, many spikelets are replaced by plantlets. In the spikes that produce kernels, arrangement of spikelets is irregular (1, 5). In the Bowman backcross-derived line for viv-1.c (BW890), spikes were compact and multiflorous. Compared to Bowman at Leeston, New Zealand, BW890 plants headed four days later and had slightly shorter peduncles and stature. Kernels were about 2/3 normal weight and grain yields were about 1/3 those of Bowman (3). At Aberdeen, Idaho, USA, expression of the vivipariodes phenotype in BW890 plants are much stronger. Grain yields were nearly none to 1/4 those of Bowman and kernels were about 1/2 normal weight. The number of kernels per spike was reduced to 3/4 of normal or less and rachis internodes were 20% shorter (3), In the glasshouse at Lund, Sweden, the spikes of BW890 plants were short, irregular six-rowed with some calcaroides-like hoods and kernels were semi-naked (5).
