Of course the corn developed its gene on its own....

There was a short bit in the March issue of Smithsonian about a
gene in corn that, when a caterpillar begins munching, allows the
corn to send a chemical signal to parasitic wasps which come, lay
eggs on the munchers, and the wasp larva feeds on it when they
hatch. Some researchers in Germany transplanted the gene into an
unrelated plant which then also could summon the wasps.
