Awned versus awnless wheat spikes: does it matter?

Rut Sanchez-Bragado et al.

Summary: Historical records indicate that ancient farmers did not select against awns on wheat until the last millennium. Our study on the evolution and domestication of wheat awns reveals that awns can increase grain weight directly or indirectly, but at the expense of grain number, leading to inconsistent effects on yield across different environments.

Contribution of Awns to Seed Yield and Seed Shattering in Siberian Wildrye Grown under Irrigated and Rainfed Environments

Fabrice Ntakirutimana et al.

Summary: Removing awns from Siberian wildrye plants significantly reduced seed yield per plant but increased seeds per inflorescence, with similar effects observed under different growing conditions. This suggests that awns play a crucial role in seed production of wildrye grass.
