BGS 135, Erectoides-ii, ert-ii
Stock number: BGS 135
Locus name: Erectoides-ii
Locus symbol: ert-ii
Revised locus symbol:
The ert-ii.79 mutant is an allele at the uzu1 (uzu1) or HvBRI1 (Hordeum vulgare brassinosteroid insensitive 1) locus (1, 2). See BGS 102 for more information on the alleles at the uzu1 or HvBRI1 locus.
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Erectoides-79 = ert-79 (5).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (5, 6).
Located in chromosome 3HL (5, 6); ert-ii.79 is over 6.6 cM distal from the centromere (5, 6); ert-ii.79 is associated with SNP markers 2_1533 to 2_0931 (positions 67.01 to 104.39 cM) in 3H bins 05 to 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW312 (3); the ert-ii.79 allele at the uzu1 (HvBRI1) locus is positioned at 57.1 cM (2) on the barley genome map (9), in 3H bin 06.

Description:
Plants are about 1/2 normal height and the spike has an elongated basal rachis internode. Spikes are relatively short and show a slight reduction in rachis internode length with a range of values from 2.7 to 3.0 mm (8). Compared to Bowman, culms of the Bowman backcross-derived line for ert-ii.79, BW312, and their peduncles were about 2/3 normal length. Heading of BW312 was delayed by 1 to 3 days. Kernels were slightly shorter and wider, but kernels weights were similar. Grain yields of BW312 were about half those of Bowman (4). BW312 with ert-ii.79 and BW885 with uzu1.a showed a brassinosteroid signaling-deficient phenotype in a leaf-unrolling test (2). In contrast to its allele uzu1.a, a drastic reduction in culm length was not caused in the ert-ii.79 mutant when grown under high temperatures (2).
