Caryopsis Development:Caryopsis Development:

Relationship between the development of abscition layer and the caryopsis maturitythe caryopsis maturity.
• In Panicum and Brachiaria the maduration lapse of time depends on the enviromental conditions while the rate of depends on the enviromental conditions while the rate of development of the abscicion layer is relatively constant.
• When the abscition is previous to the maduration a high • When the abscition is previous to the maduration a high percentage of inmature seeds is getting.
