BGS 170, Light green 3, lgn3

BGN  44:103
Stock number: BGS 170
Locus name: Light green 3
Locus symbol: lgn3

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

Light green 7 = lg7 (5).
Light green 3 = lg3, the lg3 stock studied by Hanson and Kramer (4) may not be the same as the lg3 gene in the GSHO 171 stock (2).

Inheritance:

Monofactorial recessive (3, 5).
Located in chromosome 1HL (1); lgn3.c from GSHO 171 in the Bowman backcross-derived line BW480 is associated with SNP markers 1_0552 to 2_0229 (positions 88.33 to 106.61 cM) in 4H bins 08 to 10 (1). Since lgn3 locus was previously mapped in chromosome 4HL (3, 4, 6, 7) [over 10.5 cM distal from the Kap1 (Hooded lemma 1) locus (4)], the donor stock for BW480 may have been incorrect (2).

Description:

Seedlings have light or pale green color (5). The pale green color persists until near maturity, and plants are very weak (5) or non-viable in the field (2). Plants can be grown to maturity in greenhouses (6). Plants of the Bowman backcross-derived line for lgn3.c, BW480, showed variable responses to being grown under field conditions. In general, plants headed 4 to 5 days later, they were 10 to 20% shorter than Bowman, and rachis internodes were slightly shorter. Kernel weights of BW480 were 30 to 40% lower (36 vs. 57 mg) and grain yields ranged from none to 1/3 of those for Bowman (2).

Origin of mutant:

A spontaneous mutant in an unknown cultivar (5, 6).

Mutational events:

lgn3.c (No 150, GSHO 171) in an unknown cultivar (5); lgn3.g (lg7) (No 154, GSHO 173) in an unknown cultivar (5).

Mutant used for description and seed stocks:

lgn3.c (GSHO 171) in an unknown cultivar; lgn3.c from an accession obtained from Montana State University and identified as lgn3 in Bowman (PI 483237)*5 (GSHO 2010); lgn3.c in Bowman*7 (BW480, NGB 20708).
