BGS 482, Laxatum-k, lax-k
Stock number: BGS 482
Locus name: Laxatum-k
Locus symbol: lax-k
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Laxatum-84 = lax-84 (3, 4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial incomplete dominant (5).
Located in chromosomes 2H or 3H (6); lax-k.84 is linked to the translocation breakpoint in translocation stock T2-3f (6).
Description:
Rachis internodes of lax-k.84 were about 4% longer than those of Bonus. The lax-k.84 plants had narrow, dark green leaf blades and very thin kernels (4).
