Overview
Corn is native to Central and South America. It's now grown all over the world. Mainly distributed between 30 ° and 50 ° latitude. The largest cultivation areas are the United States, China, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, India and Romania. The main producing area of corn in China is northeast, north China and southwest mountainous area.
Corn is an annual monoecious cross-pollinating plant with tall and strong stems. It is an important food crop and forage crop, and also the highest yield crop in the world. However, due to the complexity of heredity and the variety of variation, there are some shortcomings in the conventional breeding, such as too long cycle, too large coefficient of variation, which affects the growth and development of offspring, modern biological breeding technology not only overcomes the above shortcomings and shortcomings, but also improves the speed and quality of breeding.
