摘要：

Awns, which are derived from floral structures in grasses, are known to be critically important for photosynthesis and transpiration. However, arguments about the costs and benefits of their growth and development for crop grain yield are still ongoing. In this issue of Journal of Experimental Botany (pages 2573-2586), Rebetzke et al. take the debate forward, showing that wheat awns are associated with specific grain traits in different environments.
