Yellow corn is also a variety of sweet corn. It can be considered as a grain, a fruit or a
vegetable depending on its maturity and use. This variety of corn is developed from after a
series of research on white corn. It produces carotenoids pigments due to the presence of
a single dominant Y allele. These pigments are responsible for the different colours (yellow,
