Exploring the Loci Responsible for Awn Development in Rice through Comparative Analysis of All AA Genome Species

Wild rice species have long awns at their seed tips, but this trait has been lost through rice domestication. Awn loss mitigates harvest and seed storage; further, awnlessness increases the grain number and, subsequently, improves grain yield in Asian cultivated rice, highlighting the contribution o...
