GEM Mission Statement The objective of the GEM Project is to develop and provide to the public adapted germplasm lines via germplasm enhancement of useful exotic germplasm. The adapted materials are incorporated into research and breeding programs that will increase the diversity of U.S. corn germplasm, improve its performance, and provide new and better products to the American consumer.

GEM Objectives Manage an extensive multi-site cooperative breeding (and trial network) and information sharing with public and private cooperators. Develop genetically enhanced populations and lines (early generation S2 and S3 focus) from GEM breeding crosses. Evaluate genotypes in the breeding program for yield, agronomic traits, silage, biotic and abiotic stress (including mycotoxins), and value-added traits. Conduct research relevant to high priority maize germplasm traits and performance.

Summary/Benefits of GEM Germplasm contribution of LAMP and private companies Cooperative wide scale evaluation and development efforts Unique germplasm and traits being identified Technology transfer-germplasm and information GEM serves a large number of stakeholders from different sectors and countries
33
Future Challenges and Direction Identify and utilize useful allelic diversity by tapping into more races How should GEM’s resources be allocated- sampling new races vs. focusing on existing races What breeding methodology research will be needed to effectively utilize allelic diversity?
34
Future Challenges and Direction – Cont’d Explore and implement new genomic and genetic technologies through effective partnering Address targeted questions or hypotheses related to gene function, mol breeding, etc. GEM’s role: provide germplasm for well constructed studies How does GEM best serve stakeholders to maximize benefits, and broaden the germplasm base?
