Exotic Germplasm –
A Commercial Perspective
GEM Cooperator Meeting
Jerry Rice
Dec. 7, 2005
Exotic Germplasm =
Unadapted Germplasm
[i.e. South American Germplasm
 into North America]
Exotic Germplasm / Other Crops:
Cotton:
G. harknesii
cms & Restorer Genes
(hybrid cotton)
Grain Sorghum: World Collection (PI)
Greenbug Biotype Resistance
Importance of Exotic Germplasm in Breeding
Disease Tolerance
Insect Tolerance
Increased Genetic Diversity
Increased Yield
Enhanced Stability across Environments
Specialty Traits
Exotic Germplasm / Challenges:
Difficult to evaluate
Photoperiod Sensitivity unattractive phenotype
Tall plants with high ear placement
Standability Issues  generally have weak roots
High Harvest Moisture  generally later maturity
Tight husks and slow dry-down
Requires more Resources
Larger Popn size and more segregates to evaluate
Long Term Investment (success in 2nd to 3rd Gen.)

USA
initiation of Trop (Brz)/Temp SSS Popn
recycle (3) popn (earliness & dis. tol.)
advance, select, & testcross (350 2)
multiple testers  med. yield / not adv.
Brazil
multiple testers  med. yield / not adv.
Argentina multiple testers  med. yield / not adv.
S. Africa multiple testers  high yield, GCA,
Primary Tester for yellow program
Inbred Exchange / Opportunities:
USA
Obs. elite lines from Brazil
Impressive plant health
Impressive GLS tolerance

AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF
EXOTIC GERMPASM 
GERMPLASM ENHANCEMENT OF
MAIZE (GEM) PROGRAM !!!
GEM Mission: Increase Genetic Diversity
Introgression of Exotic Germplasm into
Temperate Germplasm utilizing:
LAMP Accessions (Exotic Sources)
Evaluated for Yield and Adaptation
Elite Temperate Germplasm
Via Germplasm Contributions from GEM Cooperators
GEM Exotic Sources / Available:
GEM Cooperator’s have the following types of Exotic
Germplasm available from the base GEM Program:
Populations (F2’s and BC’s)
S1’s
S2’s
GEM Releases (S4’s+)
Why use GEM Exotic Sources:
Solid Germplasm Backgrounds
Pre-Evaluated LAMP Accessions
Elite Temperate Germplasm (GEM Cooperators)
NO “Strings Attached” for GEM Cooperators
No Royalties
No Breeding Restrictions
Incorporation directly into your Breeding Program
Uses of GEM Exotic Sources:
Fold Early Gen. (S1’s & S2’s) into your program
GEM Popn X Proprietary Lines  Popn
Proprietary Popn X GEM Releases  Popn
