Summary: This comprehensive book acts as a guide to understanding maize kernel development. It covers topics spanning pre- and post-fertilization events, embryo and endosperm development, grain filling and maturation, and factors that influence crop yield. It addresses existing hypotheses plus important gaps in our knowledge and how we might fill them.
