Abstract: Consideration of the properties of awns is important for the phenotypic description of grain crops. Awns have a number of important functions in grasses, including assimilation, mechanical protection and seed dispersal and burial. An important feature of the awn is the presence or absence of barbs, - tiny hook-like single-celled trichomes on the outer awn surface that can be visualized using microscopic imaging. The awn phenotyping tool performs the automated analysis (detection and quantification) of these small, semi-transparent structures in a high-throughput manner. The project folder contains both Linux and Windows compiled version tools to download and use for the end users.
