Another example of purpose in plants. For a number of years, we grew a variety of wheat called Akron and it had the unique trait. As the head matured it would turn upside down unlike most wheat varieties where the head stands erect. This is a big advantage because with most wheat varieties, it doesn't take much of a hailstorm to devastate wheat that is standing erect Even a tiny hailstones hitting those erect beards peels the kernels of wheat out of the head. This did not happen with Akron. Most corn plants do the same thing.
