Six spontaneous shrunken endosperm mutants in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were identified and described. Five of the mutants (se1 through se5) were inherited as maternal plant monofactorial recessives and one mutant se6 was inherited as a monofactorial recessive expressing xenia. The mutants varied in fertility, seed weight, and seive size assortment. Four mutants were located on chromosome one, one on chromosome three, and one on chromosome six, by using translocation breakpoints as markers. Mutants similar to se1 through se5 could be used as males in commerical hybrid seed production. Mutants similar to se6 could be used as preflowering selective genes for the female stock for hybrid seed production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
