BGS 602, Anthocyanin-rich 20, ant20

Stock number: BGS 602
Locus name: Anthocyanin-rich 20
Locus symbol: ant20

Previous nomenclature and symbolization:

Rubrum = rub (1).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive ( 3, 5).
Location is unknown.
Description:
Compared to their mother varieties, mutant plants synthesize an increased amount of anthocyanin in their vegetative parts. All mutant alleles develop a bright red anthocyanin pigmentation in the awns. (2, 4).
Origin of mutant:
A neutron induced mutant in Foma (CIho 11333) (2).
Mutational events:
ant20.1104, 20.1106 (NGB 114604) in Foma (3); ant20.1114 in Gunhild (NGB 13690) (5).
Mutant used for description and seed stock:
ant20.1104 in Foma (NGB 114602, GSHO 1633).
