Pollen and anther morphological variation in rye was shaped by domestication
Our work shows that selection for larger pollen grains and longer anthers occurred throughout rye domestication. The present study extends our knowledge of the genetic architecture underlying within-species pollen and anther morphological diversity, and further unravels domestication traits in rye.
