Silk Development and Emergence in Corn. 1  Corn produces individual male and female flowers on the same plant. 2  The ear represents the female flower of the corn plant.  Severe soil moisture deficits can delay silk emergence and disrupt the synchrony of pollen shed and silk availability, resulting in poor kernel set.

The silks that emerge from the ear shoot are the functional stigmas of the female flowers of a corn plant. Each silk connects to an individual ovule (potential kernel). A given silk must be pollinated in order for the ovule to be fertilized and develop into a kernel.

An example of that is, today we want things like toys and clothes that we don’t have so we trade money for the things. What was traded: The people on the Silk Road traded many items. The items where traded from mainly Central Asia.

How Silk is Made. Silk - the most beautiful of all textile fibers is acclaimed as the queen of textiles. It comes from the cocoon of the silk worm and requires a great deal of handling and processing, which makes it one of the most expensive fibers also. Today China is the leading silk producer of the world. Other major silk producing countries include Japan, India and Italy.

The Silk Road was actually a 4,000 mile long network of routes stretched westward from China across Asia's deserts and mountain ranges through the Middle East, until it reaches the Mediterranean Sea. What really caused the Silk Road was greed and the want of more land. Silk was very valuable at this time. No one in the world even knew about it or how to make it. It was so secret that if you told someone out of China how to make the silk you would be killed.

Sewing Guidelines for Silk Fabric. Silk fabric is produced in such a variety of weaves, textures and weights that any suggestions for sewing and care should be considered in light of the specific product you are working with. As a rule, use the very best materials available to you on your silk fabric project.

In this chapter we learned what the Silk Road was. The Silk Road was the largest trade route in the world. We learned about the Causes and the effects of the Silk Road. We also learned about what was traded and who was involved. Without it Buddhism wouldn't of spread and we wouldn't have books.

Silk elongation begins first from the basal ovules of the cob, then proceeds sequentially up the ear. Because of this acropetal sequence of silk elongation, silks from the basal (butt) portion of the ear typically emerge first from the husk, while the tip silks generally emerge last.
