BGS 581, Praematurum-e, mat-e
Stock number: BGS 581
Locus name: Praematurum-e
Locus symbol: mat-e
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Praematurum-18 = mat-18 (3).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2).
Location is unknown.
Location is unknown.
Description:
Early heading mutants at the mat-e locus show a rather drastic increase in earliness (heading 6 days earlier than the parents) under field cultivation in Sweden (1, 4, 5). When grown under controlled environmental conditions, the mutant mat-e.18 is photo- and thermoperiod insensitive (1). Mutants have a pronounced short-day type of photoperiod response (1, 3, 6). A slight delay in heading and less photoperiod neutrality is associated with other alleles at this locus (4).
