Da. Laurie et al., ASSIGNMENT OF THE DENSO DWARFING GENE TO THE LONG ARM OF CHROMOSOME-3(3H) OF BARLEY BY USE OF RFLP MARKERS, Plant breeding, 111(3), 1993, pp. 198-203
RFLP analysis of 105 doubled haploid lines from a cross between the ba
rley varieties 'Magnum' and 'Goldmarker' located the denso dwarfing ge
ne on the long arm of chromosome 3(3H), approximately 8 cM distal to t
he RFLP locus Xpsr170. Lines with the denso gene showed a distinctive
prostrate juvenile growth habit and tended to have later ear emergence
times and lower plant grain weights, ear grain weights and 50 grain w
eights.
