Grain filling leads to backflow of surplus water from the maize grain to the cob and plant via the xylem

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

One of the main factors restricting the application of maize grain mechanical harvesting is the high breakage rate of grains (Chai et_al, 2017), which is mainly affected by the grain moisture content at harvest (Wang and Li, 2017; Guo et_al, 2022; Shi et_al, 2022). Dehydration is one of the key processes of grain ripening and drying, determining the grain moisture content at harvest (Kang et_al, 1986; Muchow, 1990). Several studies have explored the factors influencing grain dehydration, including meteorological factors, grain properties, and cultivation measures (Gao et_al, 2018; Zhang et_al, 2018; Zhao et_al, 2018 . . .
