This organism is the subject of the Illinois Long Term Selection Experiment, which has been runningsince 1896. One phenotype of this organism lead to the discovery of the Knotted1 homeobox gene. Theevolution of the Tb1 gene is believed to have lead to many of this organism's distinguishing features.

Theevolution of the Tb1 gene is believed to have lead to many of this organism's distinguishing features.Observations of this organism's chromosomes lead to the discovery of breakage-fusion-bridge cycles. Onephenotype in these organisms is explained by the presence of Ds and Ac units. This organism is derivedfrom teosinte. The "Controlling Units" of this organism were the first discovered transposons.
