grain formation Explanation: This might well fit here. "Corn" is a false friend in my opinion, and "Ausbildung" is certainly not breeding. See examples: http://www.knowledgebank.irri.org/oryza2000/Oryza_User_Manua... http://www.fao.org/docrep/004/w6300e/w6300e00.htm "... During this period the water and soil moisture regime is of utmost importance and any shortages, as in this year, can seriously affect pollination and ***grain formation***, which may result in weak ears or total loss of production..." http://tinyurl.com/ywv32f "Frost damage to crops in head can often be difficult to assess. This is because the glumes (or chaff) often retain their shape and colour for some time after a severe frost may have stopped ***grain formation***." |
