BGS 494, Laxatum-kf, lax-kf
Stock number: BGS 494
Locus name: Laxatum-kf
Locus symbol: lax-kf
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Laxatum-295 = lax-295 (3, 4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5), but partially sterile F1 plants indicated that a translocation was present in lax-kf.295 (5).
Location is unknown.
Description:
Rachis internodes of lax-kf.295 were about equal to those of Foma at normal sowing distances, but rachis internodes were a little longer at lower sowing densities (4). Spikes that emerged earlier had slightly longer rachis internodes than later emerging spikes (4).
