Water phase distribution and its dependence on internal structure in soaking maize kernels: a study using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray micro-computed tomography by Baiyan Wang, Baiyan Wang, Shenghao Gu, Juan Wang, Guangtao Wang, Xinyu Guo, Chunjiang Zhao, Chunjiang Zhao

“…This indicates that water might penetrate the embryo through the pedicel and vitreous endosperm through the pericarp during soaking.DiscussionFinally, we suggested that the proportion of semi-bound water could be a robust indicator to predict moisture content in maize kernels. The study provides a preliminary understanding of the structural basis of water distribution in maize kernels, thereby opening up the potential for designing efficient production systems and breeding cultivars well-suited for mechanical harvesting.…”
