IPK research team uncovers mechanism for spikelet development in barley - EurekAlert
Inflorescence architecture and crop productivity are often tightly coupled in our major cereal crops. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms controlling cereal inflorescence development remain poorly understood. Now, an international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute uncovered a previously unrecognised mechanism whereby developmental signals emanating from meristem boundaries regulate spikelet development and sustain the inflorescence architecture in barley. The results were published in the journal “Current Biology”.
