Proteomic Analysis of Silk Viability in Maize Inbred Lines and Their Corresponding Hybrids.

A long period of silk viability is critical for a good seed setting rate in maize (Zea mays L.), especially for inbred lines and hybrids with a long interval between anthesis and silking. To explore the molecular mechanism of silk viability and its heterosis, three inbred lines with different silk v...
