Sweet corn and baby corn breeding project, Kasetsart University, initially produced a new open pollinated variety of Supersweet corn, "Supersweet DMR" in 1975. This open-pollinated (OP) variety had to be urgently made to provide a variety with moderate downy mildew resistance to replace local varieties which could not grow in the ordinary rainy season. "Thai Supersweet Comp. no.1 DMR" is another OP variety having an even higher downy mildew resistance level and was released to the public in 1979. This variety gives high quality young ear corn and is best for fresh ear consumption as sweet corn. European and Japanese markets impose high standards of young ear corn exported from Thailand. Hybrid single cross 27127 or HS 27127 was first accomplished by this project in 1982, aiming at processing and fresh produce markets. Malee Processing Co, Ltd accepted it for making canned cream style corn in 1987 and has been using it since then. While Daily Foods Co., Ltd. had employed the variety for processing both cream style corn and canned whole kernels since 1988.
