The awns of wild emmer wheat spikelets effectively self cultivate by propelling themselves mechanically into soils. During a period of increased humidity during the night, the awns of the spikelet become erect and draw together, and in the process push the grain into the soil. During the daytime the humidity drops and the awns slacken back again however, fine silica hairs on the awns act as hooks in the soil and prevent the spikelets from reversing back out again. During the course of alternating stages of daytime and nighttime humidity, the awns pumping movements, which resemble a swimming frog kick , drill the spikelet as much as an inch into the soil. ref cite journal last Elbaum first Rivka authorlink coauthors Zaltzman, Liron Burgert, Ingo Fratzl, Peter year 2007 month title The Role of Wheat Awns in the Seed Dispersal Unit journal Science journal Science volume 316 issue 5826 pages 884&ndash 886 doi 10.1126 science.1140097 url accessdate quote pmid 17495170 ref References reflist Wiktionary awn DEFAULTSORT Awn Botany Category Plant morphology Botany stub cs Osina de Granne eo Aristo fr Barbe botanique la Arista nl Kafnaald gras nn Agn ru ... more details
