Abstract
The Marcus S. Zuber Papers document the career of Marcus Stanley Zuber (1912-2003), an agronomist and corn breeder whose research contributed significantly to the development of hybrid corn. Zuber’s work in corn breeding, including the development of improved inbred lines such as Mo17 and techniques for measuring root and stalk strength, played an important role in advancing single-cross hybrid corn production.
The collection documents Zuber’s professional career and the recognition he received for his contributions to agricultural science. It provides an overview of his work in corn breeding and agronomy, as well as his standing within the scientific and agricultural communities.
