BACKGROUND: Seed shattering is a crucial adaptive trait in wild plant species but is undesirable in domesticated crops. In this study, we investigated the anatomical and molecular mechanisms underlying seed shattering in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) and explored its genetic control. Previous research has shown that seed shattering in F. esculentum follows a monogenic inheritance pattern. To pinpoint...
