Eksempler på tassel

• As defoliation was conducted after tassel initiation, tasselling and silking were not delayed by defoliation.

• Conversely, significant negative correlations were found between tassel dry weight and grain yield.

• Most notably, teosinte possesses long lateral branches that are tipped by tassels (staminate inflorescences), while maize has short lateral branches tipped by ears (pistillate inflorescences).

• The dates when the tassel was first visible, of pollen shed and of silk emergence were also recorded for each plant.

• Inbreeding in two maize subpopulations selected for tassel size.

• Only a very few eggs were found before the first tassels appeared.

• In all trials, tassels were cut on ten plants per plot at anthesis.

• Hybrids were grown under managed drought conditions and the tassel from five plants of each plot was removed before male flowering.
