BGS 132, Breviaristatum-a, ari-a
Stock number: BGS 132
Locus name: Breviaristatum-a
Locus symbol: ari-a
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Breviaristatum-6 = ari-6 (3, 4).
Short awn 7 = lk7 (9).
Short awn 7 = lk7 (9).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (4).
Located in chromosome 3HS (6, 7, 8); ari-a.6 is probably less than 2.4 cM from the centromere (7); ari-a.6 is associated with SNP markers 2_1197 to 1_0653 (positions 78.82 to 92.55 cM) in 3H bins 05 to 06 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW038 (1), likely in 3H bin 05.

Description:
A common feature of mutants at this locus is instability in the expression of awn length, ranging from very short to 5/6 normal length in various environments (4). In some environments, secondary or tertiary tillers may show a drastic reduction in the length of stem internodes, spikes, and awns. Awns are thin and brittle and may flare somewhat on later tillers. Kernels are thin with fine wrinkles on the lemma (4). Plants of BW038, the Bowman backcross-derived line for mutant ari-a.6, were 10 to 20% shorter than Bowman and their awns extended beyond the tip of the spike 5 to 9 cm vs. 11 to 12 cm for Bowman. Kernels of BW038 were slightly smaller in size and weighed 10 to 20% less than the Bowman kernels. Grain yields of BW038 were about 2/3 those of Bowman (2).
