Anatomical insights into the vascular lay-out of the barley rachis: implications for transport and spikelet connection

This study examines the vascular anatomy of barley rachis to understand its relationship with spike size and transport capacity.

Dynamic phytomeric growth contributes to local adaptation in barley

This study shows that domestication in barley extends the apical meristematic phase for node initiation but restricts internode elongation, with genetic factors influencing these processes along latitudinal and longitudinal gradients.

Balancing grain yield trade-offs in 'Miracle-Wheat'

This study identifies a QTL that improves grain yield in spike-branching wheat by delaying senescence and increasing grains per spikelet.

Dosage of duplicated and antifunctionalized homeobox proteins influences spikelet development in barley

This study shows that the dosage of HvHOX1 and HvHOX2, two antagonistic homeobox transcription factors, influences spikelet development in barley.

The barley mutant multiflorus2.b reveals quantitative genetic variation for new spikelet architecture

This study identifies QTLs for spikelet determinacy and supernumerary spikelet phenotypes in the barley mutant multiflorus2.b, revealing polygenic inheritance.

A development guide for evaluating the maximum yield potential stage in barley

This study identifies the maximum yield potential (MYP) stage in barley as occurring when inflorescence meristem deformation and loss of activity occur, differing from the previously assumed awn primordium stage and varying by genotype and growth conditions.

Strategies of grain number determination differentiate barley row-types

This study identifies differences in grain number determination mechanisms between two-rowed and six-rowed barley types by analyzing yield components and their interactions under greenhouse and field conditions.

Ppd-1 Remodels Spike Architecture by Regulating Floral Development in wheat

This study identifies Ppd-1's role in regulating floral development and spike architecture in wheat, linking it to grain yield through phenotypic and transcriptomic analyses.

COMPOSITUM 1 (COM1) contributes to the architectural simplification of barley inflorescence via meristem identity signals

This study identifies COM1 as a gene regulating inflorescence shape in barley by controlling meristem identity signals, with implications for evolution and breeding.

Unleashing floret fertility by a mutated homeobox gene improved grain yield during wheat evolution under domestication

This study identifies GNI1, a homeobox gene whose mutations increased floret fertility and grain yield in wheat during domestication.
