Bywithout kind of corn?

#MAIS 😍 In corn, the female and male flowers are separated from each other, but they are on the same plant. At the top of the plant are in the plume the male flowers. Approximately in the middle of the plant there are in the armpits of the leaves one or more cobs, consisting of the female flowers.
Corn originates from Central America, where thousands of years ago the crop was ennobled by the native inhabitants into larger, more nutritious cobs. They always sought out the best, tastiest and largest# cobs to reproduce the corn. They probably started with the teosinte, a small grass. Columbus, who discovered America in 1492, took the corn plant to Spain, where the crop immediately thrived. For the colder climate, Europeans further ennobled the corn themselves, after which the plant continued to improve in colder areas.
