Bt corn
* contains a gene from Bacillus thuringiensis, a soil bacterium
  - genes from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis
* has little effect on beneficial insects.

  - an example of genetically engineered corn that has been approved for human consumption
  - grown commercially in Canada, the United States and South America
  - protected against the European corn borer, a common crop pest
* is resistant to corn borer and toxic fungi
  - the corn borer, a pest that can devastate corn crops
  - spliced with a naturally occurring plant pesticide known as bacillus thuringiensis
  - unlikely to harm monarch butterflies
* novel tool for managing a serious insect pest of corn.
* type of corn that has been genetically modified.

Corn smut
* fungal disease of corn.
* is one of the important model systems for the study of fungal-plant disease interactions.
* really horrible looking black blob that grows right on cobs of living corn.
* smut fungus

Dent corn
* cross between flint and flour corn.
* is field corn
  - generally more resistant than sweet or popcorn
  - predominantly white or yellow
  - the most important commercial type of corn grown in the United States

* hybrid corn that explodes due to the moisture content in each kernel when heated.
* is grown in both yellow and white varieties.
