The content of soluble sugar, protein and starch of the kernel and cob in different parts of the ear had different change trends, but the 12 day after anthesis( DAA) is a key day of the physiology characterist ics, all of the three indexes had changed after 12DAA.This study is of some scientific meaning for summer maize kernel development and high and quality maize production.
