Accession Names and Identifiers

'GEMN-0040'

Type: Cultivar name

Group: GEM

The GEM project protocol for the project's primary identifier is that non-stiff stalk lines should have a GEMN prefix. This identifier was added on 07-Mar-2008 to reflect that protocol.

Blanco, Mike USDA, ARS

Ames 26445

Type: Site identifier

Group: AMES

NC-7 Research Numbers

GEMS-0040

Type: Other or unclassified name

Group: GEM_OBSOLETE

Accessions developed through the GEM project (Germplasm Enhancement of Maize). However, the GEMS prefix was incorrectly applied at the time of deposit at the NCRPIS. This ID will be continued to provide continuity, but is obsolete.

Narrative

Brazilian population PE1 (also known as BR51403 and PI 583911) was crossed to GEM line N16, a privately-owned inbred line of the non-stiff stalk heterotic group. Germplasms were developed by selfing and selecting variable F1s from tropical-source x US inbred crosses in North Carolina under standard nursery conditions, followed by a second selfing and selection season in Homestead, Florida (F2S1). 990 F2S1 progenies were tested for per-se yield in trials at the Sandhillls Research Station in North Carolina in 1996. The top ten percent were selected for further selfing and topcrossing in a winter nursery in Homestead, Florida. All procedures were carried out using ear-to-row methods, except that F2 seeds planted in Homestead were bulked by pedigree. Germplasms were selected on the basis of resistance to lodging, early flowering, synchrony of silk and pollen production, and reduced plant and ear height. This germplasm yields well in the southern US in topcrosses to stiff stalk testers compared to elite hybrid checks. The kernels are orange-red to yellow in color and semiflint to semident in texture. Flowers within a few days of B73 in the South Atlantic region of the USA.
