ze Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (GEM) Project
A collaborative effort of public and private sector researchers to broaden and enhance the maize germplasm base. More than 60 collaborators. Two permanent breeding sites:
Ames, IA for development of 25% tropical and temperate exoticRaleigh, NC for development of 50% tropical
GEM is administered by the USDA-ARS Plant Introduction Research Unit (PIRU) located in Ames, IA; and the Plant Science Research Unit (PSRU) in Raleigh, NCTechnical Steering Group (TSG) provides guidelines for research, germplasm, and methods.

Maize Importance & Germplasm Status
93 million acres in US planted in 2007
13 billion bushels harvested in 2007 (>$50 Billion value)
Less than 5% of world germplasm diversity is being used
Only two races (northern flint x southern dent) evolved to become “Corn Belt Dent” used in the US
Between 250-300 races of maize comprise the germplasm base

GEM Objectives
Manage and coordinate a multi-site cooperative program for germplasm evaluation, development, and information sharing
Evaluate diverse maize germplasm for adaptation, yield, stress resistance, and key value-added traits (VAT’S)
Develop and release enhanced germplasm with key traits
Develop innovative means of managing and transferring information to the maize community

Races of Maize
Definition: “A group of related individuals with enough characteristics in common to permit their recognition as a group.” “A group of related individuals with a significant number of genes in common, major races having a smaller number in common than sub-races.” (Anderson and Cutler, 1942)

New Races for Allelic Diversity

SUMMARY
Effective exotic germplasm introgression requires extensive time, resources, the cooperation of multiple research institutions, and coordination of research efforts by multiple scientists of various disciplines to broaden the germplasm base
The GEM collaborative network has released 190 lines derived from 24 races originating from 14 countries used in public and private research and breeding programs
Released germplasm has provided new sources of resistance to abiotic stress, disease and insect pressures, reduced mycotoxin levels, and VAT’s for grain and silage (protein, AA, oil, starch, ethanol potential)
Research generates new knowledge of breeding methods for exotic germplasm (SSD, DH, etc.) and selection procedures

Future Challenges for GEM
Develop and expand our acquisition of new genetic resources and make them available to the GEM network
Develop non-destructive, high throughput assays to identify favorable key trait phenotypes and associated genetic information.
Evaluate, develop, and release adapted lines from ~250 races from allelic diversity effort.
Identify new cooperators to support these efforts, and research partnerships to study and utilize allelic diversity from these sources.
Develop DH inbred lines from GEM germplasm using multiple haploid generating technologies. Explore success rate of DH’s among racial accessions, and chromosomal segment effects.
