Genetically modified organisms are not varieties. They are just artificial manmade organisms, no matter at which point they ressemble the natural organism. Hence Genetically modified organisms are by science and by law commercial and trademarked products and cannot be included in any article in wikipedia except as an example in genetic engineering articles. Any attemp to do will be considered commercial advertising spam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.142.139.192 ( talk) 11:21, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
any thoughts on other corn varieties that i missed in this article? Juliancolton 17:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
What about blue corn? I can't find it anywhere in Wikipedia, but it is a fairly common sight in grocery stores, eg. blue corn tortilla chips. Vernal Bogneris ( talk) 01:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
I welcome any corrections. Ancjr ( talk) 09:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I took out the references to Sweet Gene, Sweet Generation, Triple Sweet and Sweet Breed, which are all trademarked names. Perhaps in the main sweet corn article these can be discussed, but here in the list of varieties it adds unnecessary clutter and complexity. Some seed catalogs make no mention of these brand names either, or only feature one brand name and its varieties while still carrying synergistics from other breeders anyway. n2xjk ( talk) 22:44, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Before I read this article I was a confused but successful sweetcorn amateur. Now I am very confused. Many, if not most, of the most popular sweetcorn varieties mentioned in UK forums are classified as "extra tender sweet" (in the RHS AGM list) or "tendersweet" (which I think may be the same thing). Of these there is the Mirai series, classified in this article as "augmented supersweet" but also the AGM varieties "Lapwing", "Lark", "Marshall's Honeydew", "Northern Xtrasweet", "Sparrow", "Swallow" and "Swift". For these "extra tender sweet" varieties, the seedsmen specify that no isolation is required whereas, the article says that isolation is required for the "augmented supersweet".
I suppose that the article is about the varieties most commonly available in the USA - it seems that the UK variety mix is radically different - but is it so different that the highest rated varieties in the UK are in a genetically distinct group from any USA varieties? If so, why does Mirai appear in both? If not, why is isolation not required in the UK but is required in the USA? I am very confused. TonyTebby ( talk) 17:12, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
I cut Lancelot from under the heading White se and pasted it under the heading Bicolor se, where it belongs. Refer to www.fedcoseeds.com for verification, if you like. Smaxam ( talk) 06:03, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
