BGS 596, Anthocyanin-deficient 5, ant5

Stock number: BGS 596
Locus name: Anthocyanin-deficient 5
Locus symbol: ant5

Previous nomenclature and symbolization:

Green stem = rs2 (1).
Exrubrum = rub (2).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3, 4).
Location is unknown.
Description:
The mutant plants do not synthesize anthocyanins in their vegetative parts under normal growing conditions (4, 5). The stem does not develop a purple pigmentation as it approaches maturity (1).
Origin of mutant:
An ethylene imine induced mutant in Bonus (PI 189763) (3).
Mutational events:
ant5.9 in Bonus (6); ant5.18 (NGB 114567) in Foma (CIho11333) (4); ant5.24 (NGB 114573) in Foma (6); ant5.a = BGM 122 (4).
Mutant used for description and seed stock:
ant 5.9 in Bonus (NGB 114558, GSHO 1643).
