One female inflorescence with up to 1,000 ovules and styles [silks] or potential kernels. Illustrating the genetic ancestor, now extinct for common domesticated corn. Mangelsdorf’s “tripartite theory” on the sexual synthesis, or evolutionary immutability, of North American varieties, is implied.

“As a corn breeder [Mangelsdorf] had experimented with a third kindred grass, Tripsacum, and with his Texas colleague Robert Reeves had in 1939 formulated a “tripartite theory” to prove that “the ancestor of cultivated corn was corn.” (Fussell, p. 79)

−
He speculated that there must once have been a wild corn, now extinct, and that a hybrid of this wild pod popcorn mated with Tripsacum to become the parents of teosinte. He concluded that a gene mix of these three related grasses evolved into our modern races of corn.
