BGS 496, Laxatum-mf, Lax-mf
Stock number: BGS 496
Locus name: Laxatum-mf
Locus symbol: Lax-mf
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Laxatum-302 = Lax-302 (3, 4).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial dominant (5), but partially sterile F1 plants indicated that a translocation was present in Lax-mf.302 (5).
Location is unknown.
Description:
Rachis internodes of Lax-mf.302 were about 15% longer than those of Foma (4). Plants had few tillers and matured late. Compared to Foma, spikes were short and kernels weighed less (4, 5).
