Waxy corn (maize) was found in China.In 1922 a researcher found that the endosperm of waxy maize contained only amylopectin and no amylose in opposition to normal dent maize varieties that contain both.Feeding trials later showed that waxy maize produces more efficient gains than normal dent. Geneticists could show that waxy maize has a defect in metabolism precluding the synthesis of amylose in the endosperm
