Whole grain photographs

	Whole grains at 6, 8 and 10 days after pollination: ventral side.
	Whole grains at 6, 8 and 10 days after pollination. Between 6 and 8 days after flowering there is very rapid growth of both the outer maternal tissues and the liquid-filled embryo sac inside. At 10 days after flowering the 'Water-ripe' grain is ready to start the grain filling stages.
