El período reproductivo, subdividido en estadios identificados con la letra R y un subíndice, comienza con la emergencia de los estigmas (R1), continua con el ***cuaje**** (R2 o estado de ampolla) y el llenado de los granos (R3= grano lechoso, R4= grano pastoso y R5= grano duro o indentado) y finaliza con la madurez fisiológica (R6).

The reproductive stage, subdivided into phases identified by the letter R and a subscript, begins with silking (R1), continues with XXXX (R2 or blister stage) and grain filling (R3=milk, R4=dough and R5=hard or dent) and ends with physiological maturity (R6).
Muchísimas gracias a todos!

"R2 Blister - About 12 days after silking, silks darken and dry out. Kernels are white and form a small blister containing clear fluid. Each kernel develops an embryo. Kernels contain 85% moisture. Stress (especially drought) at this stage can reduce yield potential by causing kernel abortion. "

cell division of corn
R2: Blister stage
The kernel ovule has been pollinated and is beginning to grow by cell division. The kernel contains an embryo (tiny immature plant that will germinate once planted) and an endosperm that will provide the energy needed for the seed to germinate and emerge from the soil.
https://andersonscanada.com/2015/09/03/corn-kernel-developme...
R2 – Blister
Silks darken and begin to dry out (approximately 12 days after R1). Kernels are white and blister-like in shape and contain a clear fluid. Kernels are approximately 85% moisture; embryos develop in each kernel. Cell division is complete. Grain filling commences.
