Ontogeny of awns in Poaceae and their influence on fruit development and fire protection
Project summary:
In Poaceae, awns (extensions of the midrib of the spikelet bracts) perform functions such as dispersion, photosynthesis, and protection against savanna fires. This study analyzes their development, relationship with fruits, homology, functions, and anatomical adaptations, providing data and reconstructions useful for research.
Keywords: Plant anatomy; Cerrado; spikelets; Poaceae; taxonomy.
