Abstract excerpt
Husk has multiple functions such as protecting ears from diseases, infection, and dehydration during development. Additionally, husks comprised of fewer, shorter, thinner, and narrower layers allow faster moisture evaporation of kernels prior to harvest. Intensive studies have been conducted to identify appropriate husk architecture by understanding the genetic basis of related traits, including husk length, husk...
