9.1 Two Extra floret-a (flo-a.3) spikes compared to Bowman (right). The awns have been removed from the central spike to better view the extra bracts. 9.2 A. Mutant Subnodal bract 1 (snb1.a) to the left, Bowman to the right. B. Four single spikelets of snb1.a flanking a spikelet of Bowman in the middle. 9.3 Two spikes of Curly lateral 1 (crl1.a) to the left with bent awns compared to Bowman. The awns are approximately 20% shorter than those of Bowman. 9.4 Two spikes of Leafy bract 1 (Lfb1.a) with different expressions to the left compared with normal Bowman. 9.5 A. Top part of a vir-a.5 mutant tiller with a Viviparoides phenotype remaining vegetative. B. In the near-isogenic line BW896 carrying the viv-a.5 mutation, spikes are formed on most tillers (left). Bowman (right). 9.6 A. Four spikes of Rattail spike 1 (rtt1.a) with numerous immature spikelets compared to cultivar Bowman (right). B. A single rtt1.a spike
