- Definition
- An inflorescence detectable phase during which an inflorescence emerges from sheathing leaves or bracts. [source: GR:Anuradha_Pujar, MaizeGDB:ms, POC:curators]
- Comment
- Includes emergence of a Zea mays inflorescence from a flag leaf sheath, following booting. In US cornbelt maize (including B73) the tassel fully emerges about 2-3 days prior to silk emergence from husk leaves. At this time the ear and husk may still be enclosed within its leaf sheath depending on the variety and environmental conditions.
