Buildup of starch inside the spikelet begins after part of the male cell unites with the egg cell in the ovary which is called " fertilization". The milky grain pops when pressed between fingers and leaves white liquid. The milky grain turns into soft dough and later into hard dough. The spikelet reaches maximum weight 21 days after fertilization.
