	NativeTech: Native American History of Corn
		Eventually the productivity of maize cultivation was great enough to make it possible and worthwhile for a family to produce food for the bulk of their diet for an entire year from a small area.
		Although maize agriculture permitted a family to live in one place for an extended period of time, the commitment to agriculture involved demands on human time and labor and often restricted human mobility.
		Maize was observed to grow in a series of segments, like other members of the grass family, which took approximately one phase of the moon to form, with approximately seven segments in all, from which ears were produced only at the joints of the segments.

	Zea Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Maize, commonly referred to as corn in the United States, has been considered a unique plant since the time that the indigenous peoples of the Americas developed it to be their staple food.
		Maize was introduced from the New World to the Old World in the 1400's, and it was planted between the harvesting of spring and winter crops, filling an important niche as a summer crop (1).
		Maize is the most important feed grain in the US because of its efficient conversion of dry substance to meat, milk and eggs, compared to other grains (8).

		Bonafous, however (Histoire naturelle du mais), quotes authorities (Bock, 1532, Ruel and Fuchs) as believing that it came from Asia, and maize was said by Santa Rosa de Viterbo to have been brought by the Arabs into Spain in the 13th century.
		A drawing of maize is also given by Bonafous from a Chinese work on natural history, Li-chi-tchin, dated 1562, a little over sixty years after the discovery of the New World.

	Maize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maize has a very distinct growth form, the lower leaves being like broad flags, 50–100 cm long and 5–10 cm wide (2–4 ft by 2–4 in); the stems are erect, conventionally 2–3 m (7–10 ft) in height, with many nodes, casting off flag-leaves at every node.
		Maize used for silage is harvested while the plant is green and the fruit immature.
		Maize was planted by the Native Americans in hills, in a complex system known to some as the Three Sisters: beans used the corn plant for support, and squashes provided ground cover to stop weeds.

	Maize in human nutrition - Improvement of maize diets
		The problem with maize lies in the diet of which it is a component, a diet mostly deficient in the kind of supplementary foods necessary to upgrade the nutrients ingested in relatively large amounts of maize.
		The usual intake of maize and beans established by dietary surveys in the 1960s varied between 11:1 and 18:1; therefore the supplementation of beans was relatively small.
		Combinations of maize and bean protein, although of relatively high protein value in tests in animals, are not adequate for the treatment of children with protein malnutrition.

		This consists of the outer layers of the maize and is used for animal feed.
		In general terms, it is possible to extract between 1.6 and 2.2 kgs of oil from every 100 kgs maize, depending on the process used and this could be obtained from 10% (by extraction as mill) of germ at 20% fat or from 20% of germ meal at 10% fat.
		The refined maize oil is an excellent source of unsaturated fat and is used for salad dressings and cooking.

	Corn- or Maize-Based Diets - Varieties of maize, Protein quality, Minerals and vitamins
		Maize, the American Indian word for corn, literally means "that which sustains life." After wheat and rice, it is the most important cereal grain in the world, providing nutrients for humans and animals.
		The high consumption of maize by the human population and the well-established lysine and tryptophan deficiencies in maize protein motivated researchers to develop the QPM to increase concentrations of these essential amino acids in its protein.
		Hence the production and consumption of QPM maize in countries that use maize as their chief grain crop would have a beneficial effect on the nutritional state of the people and significant economic implications from the better use of what is produced and consumed.

	Maize Technology in Malawi: A Green Revolution in the Making? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Maize dominates smallholder agriculture, and the national maize crop is produced by smallholders.
		Although maize research by the private sector will become increasingly important in the region, the principal source of research funds in Malawi continues to be public and the clients for maize research are smallholders who lack the means to fund maize research.
		Although some have criticized maize research in Malawi for its slow response to smallholders' preferences for flint grain texture, we contend that the time to release of semi-flint hybrids was moderate, and resulted less from a failure to recognize smallholders' needs than from the prevailing political and social climate.

	Maize Article - Encyclopedia of Culture and Society of Mexico
		Maize is a tall, determinate annual plant producing large, narrow, opposing leaves (about a tenth as wide as they are long), borne alternately along the length of a solid stem.
		However, by 2,700 B. maize had been introduced from Michoacan to Puebla’s Tehuacan valley, the residents of the Coxcatlan caves in the southern fringes of the valley were utilizing a small-eared pop maize (6-9 kernels per cob), and had innovated the process for grinding maize grain with stone mortars and baking flat bread.
		This explains why maize grain occurs in various colors ranging from fl (scorched from having been on the exterior of the stash) through red to blue, yellow, and finally pure white (maize that was at the center of the stash and therefore protected from the bolts of thunder).

		This new maize is referred to as Maize de Ocho Maize de Ocho is highly adapted to arid conditions and produces higher yields than previous varieties of maize.
		Maize de Ocho's success was probably due to its thick rachis that better held the kernel to the stalk.
		Maize itself is one of the defining charateristics used in classification of one of the best know cultures to emerge in from the Woodlands period, the Mississippian Tradition (Fagan 1995: Pauketat 1994).

		Among the outstanding original crops of this region is maize, given the genetic diversity present in the area as well as the presence of wild species and subspecies related to maize, an outstanding on of which is teosinte.
		In Guatemala, 13 landraces and 12 local cultivars of maize have been identified, of which seven landraces and four sub races are present in the Department of Huehuetenango, which indicates the importance of the area for the genetic diversity of maize.

		The purpose of this report is to examine, from different perspectives, issues related to gene flow from transgenic varieties of maize to Mexican land races and their wild relatives, and the conservation of biodiversity in this centre of origin.
