Revolt is a composite of a number of inbred lines that you can save seed from. Work on this synthetic population began in 2003. Its parents were older inbreds that formed strong hybrids and its adaptation is the northern part of the Corn Belt. Has Ga1s traits. Ga1s are naturally occurring traits in corn that will greatly reduce outcrossing with plants that don’t carry the same trait. This trait is called gametophytic incompatibility. This trait helps prevent accepting unwanted pollen from transgenic and other field corn. Revolt was developed by Dr. Frank Kutka and the Seed We Need Project.

Krug Dent corn is an old commercial variety. First bred by Illinois farmer George Krug in 1921. George W. Krug started experimenting with corn in 1906 to develop a corn that would be more productive for his 100 acre estate. George started his seed line by mixing two strains called Improved World's Fair and Iowa Gold Mine with a couple of bushels of good-looking seed which he purchased at a farm sale. The qualities he selected for included weight, luster, smoothness, freedom of excessive starch and high oil content. He entered his corn in the county farm bureau yield test in 1919, and topped the field in 1920 and 1921 among 118 growers who entered these tests.
