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
![Page 24: Germplasm Enhancement of Maize Project (GEM) Derived Varieties](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568148d7550346895db5f204/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Future Challenges and Direction
Identify and utilize useful allelic diversity by tapping into more racesHow 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?
UDEL: single seed descent research to save resourcesUWI: pop development of CUBA164 as SS silage base
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 studiesIssues: target traits? races? pop structure, candidate genes
How does GEM best serve stakeholders to maximize benefits, and broaden the germplasm base?
