Morphological and Genetic Mechanisms Underlying Awn Development in Monocotyledonous Grasses

The identification of biological mechanisms underlying the development of complex quantitative traits, including those that contribute to plant architecture, yield and quality potential, and seed dispersal, is a major focus in the evolutionary biology and plant breeding. The awn, a bristle-like exte...
