Up to 1000 ovules (potential kernels) form per ear of corn, each of which produces a strand of corn silk from its tip that eventually emerges from the end of the ear. The emergence of at least one strand of silk from a given ear of corn is defined as growth stage R1, and the emergence of silk in 50% of the plants in a corn field is called "mid-silk".

Sweet corn (Zea mays convar. saccharata var. rugosa), [1] also called sweetcorn, sugar corn and pole corn, is a variety of maize grown for human consumption with a high sugar content. Sweet corn is the result of a naturally occurring recessive mutation in the genes which control conversion of sugar to starch inside the endosperm of the corn

The cytokinin zeatin is named after the genus of corn, Zea. Cytokinins ( CK ) are a class of plant hormones that promote cell division , or cytokinesis , in plant roots and shoots. They are involved primarily in cell growth and differentiation , but also affect apical dominance , axillary bud growth, and leaf senescence .
Baby corn (also known as young corn, cornlettes, child corn or baby sweetcorn) is a cereal grain taken from corn (maize) harvested early while the stalks are still small and immature. It typically is eaten whole—including the cob , which is otherwise too tough for human consumption in mature corn—in raw, pickled, and cooked forms.
Almost all corn oil is expeller-pressed, then solvent-extracted using hexane or 2-methylpentane (isohexane). [1] The solvent is evaporated from the corn oil, recovered, and re-used. After extraction, the corn oil is then refined by degumming and/or alkali treatment, both of which remove phosphatides. Alkali treatment also neutralizes free fatty ...
