It would be intersting if any little bit of corn was sealed away and not wet, whether it could be germinated. It would be interesting to see the nature of the seed ear it produced, it’s height as a plant and it’s disease resistance, etc.

Have you by chance read Margaret Visser's Much Depends on Dinner? It is a great book that I heartily recommend, dealing with capsule histories of some of our favorite foods. One of them discussed is corn and what's happened to it in the USA over the past century. Fascinating read!
