<h4>Background</h4>Kernel development and starch formation are the primary determinants of maize yield and quality, which are considerably influenced by drought stress. To clarify the response of maize kernel to drought stress, we established well-watered (WW) and water-stressed (WS) conditions at 1-30 days after pollination (dap) on waxy maize (Zea mays L. sinensis Kulesh).<h4>Results</h4>Kernel development, starch accumulation, and activities of starch biosynthetic enzymes were significantly r ...[more]
