Structural parameters for X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) and their relationship with the breakage rate of maize varieties

Abstract Background High grain breakage rate is the main limiting factor encountered in the mechanical harvest of maize grain. X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) scanning technology could be used to obtain the three-dimensional structure of maize grain. Currently, the effect of maize grain struct...
