how domestication could have proceeded without leaving remains of teosinte or maize with teosintoid traits earlier than the earliest known until recently, dating from ca. 1100 BC.

Corn can be processed into an intermediate form to be cooked further. These processes include drying, milling, and nixtamalization.World's tallest corn towers nearly 14 meters".

Ears develop above a few of the leaves in the midsection of the plant, between the stem and leaf sheath, elongating by around 1⁄ 8in) per day, to a length of 18cm (7in) [51] with 60cm (24in) being the maximum alleged in the subspecies. [58] They are female inflorescences, tightly enveloped by several layers of ear leaves commonly called husks.

It is ground from whole blue corn and has a sweet flavor. The cornmeal consists of dried corn kernels that have been ground into a fine or medium texture. [8] [9]

A maize stalk with two ripe ears is depicted on the reverse of the Croatian 1 lipa coin, minted since 1993. [177] Further information: List of maize dishes Semi-peeled corn on the cob Poster showing a woman serving muffins, pancakes, and grits, with canisters on the table labeled corn meal, grits, and hominy, US Food Administration, 1918 Maize is a facultative short-day plant [62] and flowers in a certain number of growing degree days> 10°C (50°F) in the environment to which it is adapted. [63] The magnitude of the influence that long nights have on the number of days that must pass before maize flowers is genetically prescribed [64] and regulated by the phytochrome system. [65] Photoperiodicity can be eccentric in tropical cultivars such that the long days characteristic of higher latitudes allow the plants to grow so tall that they do not have enough time to produce seed before being killed by frost. These attributes, however, may prove useful in using tropical maize for biofuels. [66] Fall armyworm ( Spodoptera frugiperda) Some sweet corn varieties have developed partial resistance to fall army worms by producing a unique 33-kD proteinase that significantly retards fall army worm growth.

In the United States, [39] Canada, [41] Australia, and New Zealand, corn primarily means maize. This usage started as a shortening of "Indian corn" in 18th century North America. [39] [42] During European colonization of North America, confusion would occur between British and North American English speakers using the term corn so that North American speakers would need to clarify that they were talking about Indian corn or maize, such as in a conversation between the Massachusetts Bay governor Thomas Hutchinson and the British king George III. [42] "Indian corn" primarily means maize (the staple grain of indigenous Americans) but can also refer more specifically to multicolored " flint corn" used for decoration. [43] Other common names include barajovar, makka, silk maize, and zea. [44] Mielie meal, also known as mealie meal or maize meal, is a relatively coarse flour (much coarser than cornflour or cornstarch) made from maize [1] or mealies in Southern Africa, from the Portuguese milho. It is also known by various other indigenous language names depending on the locality or country. It was originally brought to Africa from the Americas by the Portuguese. [2] Willy H. Verheye, ed.

While yellow maizes derive their color from lutein and zeaxanthin, in red-colored maizes, the kernel coloration is due to anthocyanins and phlobaphenes. These latter substances are synthesized in the flavonoids synthetic pathway [69] from polymerization of flavan-4-ols [70] by the expression of maize pericarp color1 (p1) gene [71] which encodes an R2R3 myb-like transcriptional activator [72] of the A1 gene encoding for the dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (reducing dihydroflavonols into flavan-4-ols) [73] while another gene (Suppressor of Pericarp Pigmentation 1 or SPP1) acts as a suppressor. [74] The p1 gene encodes an Myb-homologous transcriptional activator of genes required for biosynthesis of red phlobaphene pigments, while the P1-wr allele specifies colorless kernel pericarp and red cobs, and unstable factor for orange1 (Ufo1) modifies P1-wr expression to confer pigmentation in kernel pericarp, as well as vegetative tissues, which normally do not accumulate significant amounts of phlobaphene pigments. [71] The maize P gene encodes a Myb homolog that recognizes the sequence CCT/AACC, in sharp contrast with the C/TAACGG bound by vertebrate Myb proteins. [75]
