Biotech company Corn Next has released CornNext-17, a corn starch-based material made through a natural fermentation process. It can be used to make biodegradable packaging such as straws ...

But regardless of what form of corn you're consuming, it counts as a carbohydrate source and is "surprisingly rich in fiber," Thomason adds. One ear of corn offers about 20 grams of carbohydrates ...

MaizeCODE is a genomic project analyzing the genetic basis of maize domestication. Researchers identified key regulatory ...

It often uses old structures (or ancient genes) for new jobs. The mammalian ear is a perfect example. Over the eons, the jawbones of our fish ancestors became three separate small bones that ...

Corn development and final yields The number of harvestable kernels per ear is an important contributor to the grain-yield potential of a corn plant. Severe plant stress during ear formation may ...

Ear infections are more common in children than in adults, but no matter your age, it’s possible to experience short-term hearing loss when fluid and inflammation develop in your middle ear ...

Corn yield results not from the number of plants in a field but rather the number of ears — photocopied ears of sufficient length and girth. Gaps in a stand and plants without ears contribute ...

CSHL Professors Thomas Gingeras and Rob Martienssen have launched a new genomic encyclopedia called MaizeCODE. Their latest ...
