Mycogen produces, markets and sells hybrid seed corn. The company also markets and sells sorghum, sunflower, soybean, alfalfa, and canola. The Mycogen Corporation was formed in 1982 by members of the San Diego business and scientific communities, including David H. Rammler, a partner in the venture capital firm of Vanguard Associates, who served as the first chairman of the company, and Andrew C. Barnes, a biochemist with an MBA from the Stanford School of Business. The original concept was to develop environmentally safe herbicides from fungi using genetic engineering, thus the name Mycogen, coined from the Greek words for fungus and genetics.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} The company was acquired by Dow Chemical Company in 1998.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Dow Chemical Completes Acquisition of Mycogen Corp.|url=http://www.seedtoday.com/articles/dow_chemical_completes_acquisition_of_mycogen_corp_-2493.html|website=seedtoday.com|accessdate=6 June 2016}} External links
