Spanish term or phrase: cuaje (o cuajado) del maiz
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).

Mi intento
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).

cell division of corn


Explanation:
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.
