Characterization of the ear architectural traits of maize hybrid ZD808 (HYB) and its parental lines. a Phenotypic differences of the immature ears of HYB, CL11 and NG5 in the spikelet and floret differentiation stages. b Ear length and diameter of HYB, CL11 and NG5 in the spikelet and floret differentiation stages. Scanning electron microscope observation of immature ears of NG5, CL11 and HYB in spikelet (c) and floret differentiation stages (d). Abbreviations: S-stage, spikelet differentiation stage; F-stage, floret differentiation stage; SM, spikelet meristem; GR, Gynoecial ridge; FM, floret meristem; OG, outer glume; S, stamen primordia; P, pistil primordial; SI, silk
