Written by a team of experts, it covers topics spanning pre- and post-fertilization events, embryo and endosperm development, grain filling and maturation, and factors influencing crop yield. It explores the significance of maize and other cereal grains, existing hypotheses and research, and important gaps in our knowledge and how we might fill them. This is a valuable resource for researchers of maize and other cereals, and anyone working on basic or applied science in the fields of seed development, plant genetics, and crop physiology UR - https://doi.org/10.1079/9781786391216.0000 UR - https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/action/showBook?doi=10.1079%2F9781786391216.0000 ER -
