Cultivated corn or maize (Zea mays) is a member of the family Gramineae (grass family). The genus Zea contains four species, but only Z. mays has been developed so dramatically from the other members of the genus and from its wild ancestors. Because of concerted human intervention over centuries of selection and plant breeding, corn bears little ressemblance to its relatives. Much of the agronomic development of corn has focussed on the production of large, nutritious seeds (kernels) that do not shatter from the plant upon maturity. 2, record 1, English, - cultivated%20corn
