| Abstract: | We report here the genetic identification of a female partial-sterile mutant derived from soybean mutant L67-3483. L67-3483, which originated from the cultivar Clark after X-ray irradiation, is male and female fertile. All F, plants in reciprocal pollinations of L67-3483 with 'Clark', 'Minsoy', or 'BSR 101' were female partial sterile. Partial sterility is expressed in the heterozygous condition at a single locus and upon self-pollination this locus exhibits a 1:1 segregation pattern. This locus is located on the terminus of the soybean molecular linkage group D1b+W, between simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers Satt157 and Satt266, and is linked to each by 5.3 and 1.2 cM, respectively. This gene is transmitted through both female and male gametes and there was no segregation distortion of SSR markers linked to this gene. We concluded that this female partial-sterile gene is a new mutation class, and differs from the previously reported mutation classes in soybean, i.e., sporophytic mutation, gametophytic female-specific mutation, and general gametophytic mutation. Restriction of recombination around the mutant gene suggested that this gene is located near or within (a) small inversion(s) or adjacent to (a) chromosomal deletion(s). |
