When such a kernel is heated to about 400 °F (about 200 °C), the moisture in the starch turns into steam and builds uppressureuntil the kernel explodes inside out into an irregular white fluffy mass about 20 to 40 times the kernel’s original size. About 25 corn varieties are suitable for popcorn. Primary sequencing of the maize genome was completed in 2008. [86] In 2009, the consortium published results of its sequencing effort. [87] The genome, 85% of which is composed of transposons, was found to contain 32,540 genes (By comparison, the human genome contains about 2.9 billion bases and 26,000 genes). Much of the maize genome has been duplicated and reshuffled by helitrons—group of rolling circle transposons.

When maize was first introduced into farming systems other than those used by traditional native-American peoples, it was generally welcomed with enthusiasm for its productivity. However, a widespread problem of malnutrition soon arose wherever maize was introduced as a staple food. This was a mystery, since these types of malnutrition were not normally seen among the indigenous Americans, for whom maize was the principal staple food. [169]maize, n. (and adj.)".

World's tallest corn towers nearly 14 meters". Science News for Students. January 6, 2017 . Retrieved November 10, 2021. The word maize derives from the Spanish form of the indigenous Taíno word for the plant, mahiz. [33] Botanist Carl Linnaeus included the common name maize as the species epithet in Zea mays. [34] It is known by other names including "corn" in some English-speaking countries. [35] Maize spread to the rest of the world because of its ability to grow in diverse climates. It was cultivated in Spain just a few decades after Columbus's voyages and then spread to Italy, West Africa and elsewhere. [30]

[13] Recent research in the early 21st century has modified this view somewhat; scholars now indicate the adjacent Balsas River Valley of south-central Mexico as the center of domestication. [14]
