C4 plant: corn

This specimen is corn. I found this specimen at Ralphs. Corn is related to a C4 plant because they are well adapted to and likely to be found in high daytime temperatures. C4 plant is a plant in which the CO2 is first fixed into a compound containing four carbon atoms before entering the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.
