Hindi corny ang research! Throwback sa isang 1961 research na sumagip sa industriya ng mais ang tila naging tugon ng scientific community sa pagkastigo ng isang senador sa budget para sa corn program.

MANILA - A Filipino scientist's research back in 1961 saved the world's corn industry a decade later.

According to Lantican and his team's research, corn crops with the T-cytoplasm trait are more susceptible to the disease. The said disease decimated the US' corn yield that year, and it was only that time when they realized the value of Lantican's study, published almost a decade earlier. Aside from research on corn, Lantican also developed over 20 enhanced varieties of mungbean, soybean and peanuts.
