Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: HvEMF1L mutants display pleiotropic defects in spike morphology, especially awn development in barley. The study integrates mutagenesis, genetic mapping and sequencing technologies for trait dissection Awns are apical extensions of the lemma that are prevalent in many wild and cultivated grass species. In cultivated cereals they are relevant, given their influence on grain yield through contributions...
