- Association Stored foods of sweet corn were consumed most rapidly, followed by pop, flint and dent corn.
- Observation In dent corn, seedling development at endosperm exhaustion reached the 4th foliage leaf and 10.2 roots.
- Observation In flint corn, seedling development at endosperm exhaustion reached the 4th foliage leaf and 9.6 roots.
- Observation In sweet corn, seedling development at endosperm exhaustion reached the 3rd foliage leaf and 6.0 roots.
- Observation In pop corn, seedling development at endosperm exhaustion reached the 3rd foliage leaf and 4.9 roots.
- Association Consumption curves of stored foods in endosperms are represented by Robertson's formula.
- Observation Dry weights in seedlings appeared only after the time of endosperm exhaustion.
