Abstract

Early geneticists, and generations since, have been drawn to maize to study basic questions, its curious phenomena and its practical applications. Part of the allure of this unique crop plant lies in the collegiality of the Maize Genetics Cooperation, extending all the way from the 'roaring twenties' of genetics to today.

摘要

早期的遗传学家以及此后的几代人都被玉米所吸引，去研究一些基本问题、它的奇特现象及其实际应用。这种独特农作物的部分魅力在于玉米遗传学合作组织的合作精神，这种精神从遗传学的“咆哮的二十年代”一直延续到今天。
