What plant family is corn?

Question

I am allergic to corn (syrup, starch, raw, cooked....),
and I was wondering what plant family corn is in. The only plant family I am familiar with is the Nightshade family (tomato, potato, tobacco, pepper, ground cherry, nipplefruit...), and I would like to know what family corn is in. Thanks.

Answer 3

want to know the family of some other plant for which you know only the common name, you can determine its Latin name at the B & T World Seeds site. Once you have the Latin name, you can find its family name typing the Latin name into the search box at the NCBI Taxonomy Browser. On that page, the family's technical name will be given (Liliaceae instead of Lily Family, for example) along with the rest of its lineage. Remember that most plant family names end with -aceae. Once you have the technical family name, if you don't know what the common name is for the family, then Google the technical name, or look it up in a wildflower or horticultural book.

Taxonomy of Corn
Zea is a genus of the family Gramineae (Poaceae), commonly known as the grass family. The genus consists of some four species: Zea mays, cultivated corn and teosinte; Zea diploperennis Iltis et al., diploperennial teosinte; Zea luxurians (Durieu et Asch.) Bird; and Zea perennis (Hitchc.) Reeves et Mangelsd., perennial teosinte. Various of the species have been assigned to the segregate genus Euchlaena, which is not currently recognized, or have been divided into numerous small species within the genus Zea (Terrell et al., 1986).

a million ) are you able to circulate a sunflower with a dahlia because of the fact they're from the comparable family members ? answer a million - No , merely the undeniable fact that they are from the comparable family members ( Asteraceae ) isn't adequate for them to offer a achievable offspring . they could desire to be compatible . The genetic fabric ( inclusive of the chromosomes ) could desire to be compatible . 2 ) Does it extremely is going to be the comparable plant? answer 2 - particular , the two plant life could desire to be as heavily appropriate as obtainable . purely then there's a achievable replace of genetic fabric and formation of a clean type having diverse / combination of the two mom and dad . Mendel chosen pea plant life for his hybrid experiments ( Albeit Having inherently diverse helpful aspects ) yet he did no longer think of of a go between a pea plant and a bean plant ; even however the two certainly one of them are from the comparable family members Fabaceae.And the two certainly one of them have been truthfully available to him !!! In animal kingdom such crosses are further approximately purely below human supervision , however the progeny is sterile ( they're incapable of prducing offspring .) Examples are , Liger . Tigeon , Mule , Henny and so on. 3 )What are the foremost plant families that is used to hybridise? answer 3 ) ANY plant family members ( i. e. the contributors of that family members ) is sturdy adequate ; provided ,off aim , the plant life are from comparable species . OR from the comparable genus with diverse species . in short inter known ( between any 2 genera like Helianthus ( Sunflower ) and Dahlia ) crosses are difficult to convey forth . Interspecific or Intrageneric( interior the comparable genus )crosses are consistently obtainable. thank you !

Answer 6

Zeaceae.

All you people who think it's in Poaceae...it isn't. Not anymore. It used to be classified as a grain in the grass family, but botanists have decided it's too different based on its pollination and cob structure and now it's in its own family.

Oh, BTW, if you have allergy issues, you might want to check out an "elimination diet"--it has you eat foods from different families on different days. I read a book on allergies and it had the different plant families w/different colors for different days...very interesting.

Answer 7

Taxonomically speaking, corn is in the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae and Zeaceae). It is important to distinguish this family from just saying "grass", because not all plants called grass are part of this family (seagrass, sleeping grass, sawgrass, etc.)

Poaceae family has been called by over 40 different names by different botanists (http://www.clfs.umd.edu/emeritus/reveal/PBIO/WWW/famsynmr.html)

There are nearly 10,000 different species in this family. including wheat, rice, barley, bamboo and the grass you find in your hard. According to Wikipedia, about 20% of the earth is covered with plants in this family.

Answer 8

corn family is poaceae widely distributed all over the world.

Answer 9

Corn is a cereal in the Poaceae family... thats pretty much all I know...

Answer 10

Gramineae
