    develops at each node in two opposite ranks F the leaf arrangement mai+e isdistichous ;reviewed in $sau 199b

    plants develop more leaves than temperate cultivars!

    The epidermis is the outermost layer that can be discerned in cross@sections of thestalk! Several layers of sclerenchyma tissue are underneath it and increase the strengthof the stalk! The arrangement of vascular bundles is comple( and they appearscattered throughout the parenchyma tissue that constitutes the remainder of the cross@

    >sually one or two lateral shoots in the upper part of the plant develop into femaleinflorescences! The shank consists of nodes and short internodes the lengths of whichvary between mai+e races! The ears arise from a(illary bud apices! The ear is coveredin a number of leaves called husks! Those leaves differ in appearance when comparedto those on the stalk: they surround and protect the developing ear! -here mai+e isleft to dry in the fields more husks are generally desired to protect the grains from

    birds and insects! -here mai+e is harvested earlier it is often desirable for a cultivarto have a lower number of thin husks!

    The ear does not usually show any lateral branching! The thick a(is of the ear thecob bears an even number of rows ;between . and ,0< of ovaries each containing asingle ovule! The number of ovules that will develop into kernels ranges from ,00 F1000 and is dependant on the cultivar3variety as well as factors occurring later indevelopment ;"urseglove 192

    /n the first phase of embryogenesis irregular cell divisions result in a proembryoconsisting of appro(imately 12 F 2. cells within 100 hrs after fertilisation! The initial

    basal cell divides into a number of large vacuolated suspensor cells! &y the sametime the initial apical cell has given rise to F 18 small cells that are densely filledwith cytoplasm!

    Starting appro(imately 8 F days after fertilisation the second phase of

    embryogenesis commences which leads to the establishment of meristems and theembryonic a(is by appro(imately 1, days after fertilisation ;transition embryo

    The pericarp ;ovary wall< and testa ;seed coat< are fused to form the fruit wall andbecause of this tight adhesion between fruit and seed the two structures actuallyappear to be a single structure! This structure is commonly referred to by a number ofinterchangeable terms F fruit kernel grain and seed! The kernels are composed ofthree main parts @ the embryo the endosperm and the fruit wall ;see 4igure ,
