Your First Prenatal Visit. If you did not meet with your health care provider before your were pregnant, your first prenatal visit will generally be around 8 weeks after your LMP (last menstrual period). If this applies to you, you should schedule a prenatal visit as soon as you know you are pregnant! Even if you are not a first time mother, prenatal visits are still important since every pregnancy is different. This initial visit will probably be one of the longest.
Sweetness Genes. Standard sweet corn is a mutant type of corn that differs from field or dent corn by a mutation at the sugary (su) locus. The sweet corn (su) mutation causes the endosperm (storage area) of the seed to accumulate about two times more sugar than field corn. Today several hundred sweet corn varieties are available.
Corn that is grown for grain has taller stalks with larger thicker leaves than sweet corn. Field corn, also sometimes called âcow corn,â stays in the fields until the ears dry because corn is very high in moisture and must be dry to be processed.
