Abstract excerpt
The potential to increase barley grain yield lies in the indeterminate nature of its inflorescence meristem, which produces spikelets, the basic reproductive unit in grasses that are linked to reproductive success. During early reproductive growth, barley spikes pass through the maximum yield potential-a stage after which no new spikelet ridges are produced. Subsequently, spikelet abortion (SA), a phenomenon in...
