Basic Introduction to Daqing Corn

An annual cereal plant of the family Poaceae, native to North, Central, and South America. The plant is tall, with strong and straight stems. The leaves are narrow and large, with wavy edges, and alternate on both sides of the stem. The male inflorescence is spike shaped and grows at the top. The female flowers grow axillary and mature into grain ears. Corn has a thick central axis, and the spikelets develop into two rows of grains when paired vertically. The husk is covered with multiple layers of abnormal leaves, known as foreskin. The seeds are edible

The commercial grade is mainly divided based on the texture of the seeds, including purslane seeds, hard seeds, powdery seeds, bursting seeds, glutinous corn, sweet corn, etc. The top of the grain is concave due to the unequal dryness of the hard starch and soft starch in the grain. Hard corn contains less soft starch and does not have a hollow top after drying. Powdery corn mainly contains soft starch, powdery texture, and is easy to crush. Sweet corn is wrinkled, transparent, and does not convert sugar into starch. Popcorn is an extreme type of hard corn, with small and hard grains that do not contain soft starch. When heated, the water inside the cells swells, causing the grains to burst. Hybridization with superior inbred lines can improve maize types
