where was corn first grown?

Question

in the early indian settlements...

Answer 1

well the actual flower/plant that produced the first corn type substance cant be indentified. you can find the beginning plant that produced wheat its spelt over in the middle east. but the origin of corn is actually a little bit of a mystery. it does have a point of origin in central america but the original plant cant be identified.

Answer 2

Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays), also known as corn, is a cereal grain that was domesticated in Mesoamerica. It spread to the rest of the world after European contact with the Americas in the late 15th century and early 16th century. It is called corn in the United States, English Canada (in French Canada it is called maïs), New Zealand, and Australia, but in other countries that term may refer to other cereal grains. It is called mealies in southern Africa. Hybrid maize is favored by farmers over conventional varieties for its high grain yield, due to heterosis ("hybrid vigor"). Maize is one of the first crops for which genetically modified varieties make up a significant proportion of the total harvest.
While some maize varieties grow 7 m (23 ft) tall at certain locations, commercial maize has been bred for a height of 2.5 m (9 ft). Sweetcorn is usually shorter than field-corn varieties.

Answer 3

Corn probably was first cultivated from a wild grass called teosinte in Mexico and Central America.

"It is a direct domestication of a Mexican annual teosinte, Zea mays ssp. parviglumis, native to the Balsas River valley of southern Mexico, with up to 12% of its genetic material obtained from Zea mays ssp. mexicana through introgression;"

"The domestication of maize is thought by some to have started 7,500 to 12,000 years ago in central Mexico, perhaps in the highlands between Oaxaca and Jalisco. The wild teosinte most similar to modern maize grows in the area of the Balsas River. Little change occurred in cob form until ca. 1100 BC when great changes appeared in cobs from Mexican caves: maize diversity rapidly increased and archaeological teosinte was first deposited."
"Perhaps as early as 1500 BC, maize began to spread widely and rapidly. Maize was the staple food of most the pre-Columbian North American, Mesoamerican, South American, and Caribbean cultures. During the 1st millennium CE (AD), maize cultivation spread from Mexico into the U.S. Southwest and a millennium later into northeastern U.S. and southeast Canada, transforming the landscape as Native Americans cleared large forest and grassland areas for the new crop."

Answer 4

dude looks like corn grows in my home town,in California.It's funny that you asked that question, because in my hometown corn is a traumatizer. It's something like a scary movie, when you try to run from it it end up ahead of you; you turn left and right and there's corn fields everywhere. or baby corn fields also.
