Genetic engineering is bringing about some important changes in the production of corn. It
has allowed scientists to develop plants that produce larger and more numerous ears of corn. This
makes it possible for farmers to harvest far more corn per acre of land. In the near future, genetic
engineering may develop types of corn that are resistant to certain diseases. Scientists are also
working on kinds of corn that can be cultivated in dry or very hot areas. Genetics may furthermore
soon develop a kind of corn that contains more protein and is also more nutritious. All these changes
mean that corn will be able to feed more people around the world.
Rekayasa genetika membawa beberapa perubahan penting dalam produksi jagung. Ini telah
memungkinkan para ilmuwan untuk mengembangkan tanaman yang menghasilkan telinga jagung
yang lebih besar dan lebih banyak. Hal ini memungkinkan petani untuk memanen jagung lebih
banyak per are. Dalam waktu dekat, rekayasa genetika dapat mengembangkan jenis jagung yang
tahan terhadap penyakit tertentu. Para ilmuwan juga bekerja pada jenis jagung yang dapat
dibudidayakan di daerah kering atau sangat panas. Genetika selanjutnya dapat mengembangkan
sejenis jagung yang mengandung lebih banyak protein dan juga lebih bergizi. Semua perubahan ini
berarti jagung akan dapat memberi makan lebih banyak orang di seluruh dunia
