Fig. 1From: Genetic analysis and QTL mapping for pericarp thickness in maize (Zea mays L.)Changes in maize pericarp thickness during the kernel developmental process. A Microscopic observation of the pericarp development in maize. EP: exocarp. EN: endosperm. CA: the cavities formed by apoptotic cells. B Variation in pericarp thickness after self-pollination of three different corn types. C Variation in the number of cell layers after self-pollination.
