Respiration Rates of Sweet Corn Kernels Associated with Maturity and Genotype1

Year: 1974

Type: article

Abstract: Whole kernels of sweet corn ( Zea mays L.) were excised from 4 cultivars of varying stages of maturity. The oxygen uptake per g, of dry kernel weight showed a curvilinear decrease with maturity as measured by % kernel moisture. Distinct differences were observed in the respiration rates of the 4 cultivars.
