Abstract excerpt
Barley (Hordeum vulgare) awns contribute to grain yield, but the genetic basis of awn development remains largely unclear. Five barley lines differing in awn traits and row types were used to create four F2 populations. Genetic analyses revealed that four pairs of genes were involved in awn development: A/a (awnless/awned), B/b (awnless/awned), H/h (hooded/straight), and L/l (long/short). Of these four loci, A, H...
