The ancestor of our corn
2005/02/01 Elhuyar Zientzia Iturria: Elhuyar aldizkaria
Today we are able to manipulate the genetic material of plants. However, throughout history there has also been genetic manipulation through the selection of planted plants. In fact, the corn we eat today is the result of a selection of this type in Central America.
From Teosinte grass, farmers managed to develop unbranched maize. Now there are researchers who are clarifying which genes have participated in this process, what is the process of branching corn and other plant characteristics.
