Revision as of 21:00, 6 January 2005 by Jerzy (talk | contribs) (more detail)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Zea or Zea Mays?
The sidebar contains several Zea genus, but the main article is highly focused on Zea Mays, especially Zea Mays subsp. mays. Think we need a seperate page for Zea? Mackerm 17:21, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Should this article provide information about corn is grown now rather than relying on an article that is over 100 years old?
in what country?
"The corn will ripen in October or early November;" in what country? should this be replaced with seasons instead? - --Cyprus2k1 22:26, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
unrelated sentence??
I removed this sentence because it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the article:
In 1940, Barbara McClintock received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovery of transposons while studying maize.

- It is an article about maize and someone got a Nobel Prize for studying maize. I don't see how it is unrelated. Rmhermen 22:20, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
Maize?
I've never heard anyone call this maize? It sounds made up. - Jerryseinfeld 22:30, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Are you trolling? The second para gives a fairly good explanation of the different names used globally for this crop. The common name in America is corn, but maize is the Spanish name used in much of the rest of the world. External validation can be found at the BBC, any number of dictionaries or some 3 million other web references on Google. -- Solipsist 23:14, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Propagation
Maize cannot self seed, right? It depends upon cultivation for seed dispersal. This should probably be mentioned. Perhaps along with domestication history of maize in the first paragraph.
Baby Corn
Can somebody add some information (or write a new article) about baby corn please? I love that weird little freak of nature and would love to know more about it and its relation to regular corn.
