There was a linear increase in vitreousness with advancing maturity.

The most frequent reason for unsatisfactory quality was loss of vitreousness and low falling number.

The increase in vitreousness per maturation day was greater for flint hybrids.

The proportion of vitreous endosperm (vitreousness) in dent hybrids was 44.3%, while in flint it was 67.0%.

In this study, we focused on analysis of two starch biosynthetic enzymes that may influence kernel vitreousness.
