nearly all the corn grown in the united states is hybrid. seed is obtained by crossing inbred lines that are obtained by self-pollination through several generations. to produce hybrid seed, two inbred lines are planted together and the tassels removed from one before any pollen is shed. as a result, the kernels on the de-tasseled variety are from pollen produced on the other inbred line.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

new varieties of <\/span>dent corn<\/strong> have been developed through either conventional breeding programs or by making use of new biotechnology.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
