Maize (also known as corn) is a domesticated cereal grain that has been grown as food and animal feed for
tens of thousands of years. It is currently the most widely grown crop in the world, and is used not only for
food/feed but also to produce ethanol, industrial starches and oils. Maize is now at the beginning of a new
agricultural revolution, where the grains are used as factories to synthesize high-value molecules. In this
article we look at the diversity of high-value products from maize, recent technological advances in the field
and the emerging regulatory framework that governs how transgenic maize plants and their products are
grown, used and traded.
