Abstract excerpt
Maize (Zea mays L.) grain moisture (GM) at harvest is an important trait that affects seed preservation during storage, grain quality and artificial drying costs. To date, most of the work on understanding GM dynamics in maize has focused on the grain filling period, while the period of postmaturity grain drying remains unexplored. The field grain drying rate (FDR) is one of the most important factors in...
