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. ZF1: sweet corn inbred line; N75: normal corn inbred line; TN113: waxy corn inbred line
