If as some modern scholars say corn was not known in either european or middle eastern countries until the late 15th or early 16th centuries how is it that it is spoken of in many of the scriptures all the way back to Genesis? Is this a translation thing, please give me a definitive answer

What many know of as corn on the North American continent is actually maize.

The term corn is from the Latin cornus which simply refers the kernel of almost any grain.
