The symposium will recognize the redes Maize has had in the rediscovery of Mendelism, “and par ticularly because of the profound significance of maize in meeting world food demands," the symposium invotation states. The application of genetic principles has had a greater impact in maize than in most other crops. Maize has tremendous global importance in today’s world. It ranks third as a food grain, exceeded only by rice and wheat. It is widely adapted, from the tropics on the 50th parallel. It is ef ficient in energy-trapping, can be modified to maximize protein quality, can suc cessfully compete with soybeans as an oil producer, and is an important food crop in both developing and develpoed countries. The symposium is called a “once-in-a lifetime meeting,” since it will bring together geneticists, breeders, pathologists, biochemists, and physiologists from many maize growing countries of P New Idea’s Uni-Forage Harvester Superchopper chops 15% more.
