The structure of the barley husk influences its resistance to mechanical stress
KR Grant, M Brennan, SP Hoad - Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 - frontiersin.org
This paper explores the links between genotype, plant development, plant structure and
plant material properties. The barley husk has two organs, the lemma and the palea, which …

Husk to caryopsis adhesion in barley is influenced by pre-and post-anthesis temperatures through changes in a cuticular cementing layer on the caryopsis
M Brennan, T Shepherd, S Mitchell, CFE Topp… - BMC plant biology, 2017 - Springer
Background At ripeness, the outer husk of “covered” barley grains firmly adheres to the
underlying caryopsis. A cuticular cementing layer on the caryopsis is required for husk …

Hull to caryopsis adhesion and grain skinning in malting barley: identification of key growth stages in the adhesion process
SP Hoad, M Brennan, GW Wilson… - Journal of Cereal …, 2016 - Elsevier
Strong adhesion between the hull and the caryopsis is essential for barley to be of good
malting quality. Poor hull adhesion, a condition known as grain skinning, is undesirable for …

Genomic prediction of threshability in naked barley
C Massman, B Meints, J Hernandez, K Kunze… - Crop …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Threshability, defined here as the propensity of grains to lose their hull after harvest, is a key
trait in naked barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). While threshability is a defining characteristic of …

Development and quality of barley husk adhesion correlates with changes in caryopsis cuticle biosynthesis and composition
The caryopses of barley become firmly adhered to the husk during grain development
through a cuticular cementing layer on the caryopsis surface. The degree of this attachment …
