Narrative
Maize (Zea mays L.) inbred line GT888 was developed and released by the USDA-ARS in cooperation with the University of Georgia, and in participation with the USDA Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (GEM) project. GT888 was derived from GEM population DK 888:N11, and has 50% tropical and 50% temperate parentage. GT888 is a yellow dent inbred that was selected through a pedigree breeding program for improved resistance to aflatoxin contamination produced by the causal organism Aspergillus flavus (Link ex Fr.). It was compared to three inbreds including Mp 313E, Mp 717, and Mp 719, which are known standards that resist aflatoxin contamination. This inbred also exhibits heterosis when crossed to stiff stalk testers B 17, B 73 and LH 132, and was assigned to the non-stiff stalk group. GT888 tasseled and silked approximately five to eight days later than a cohort of non-stiff stalk standards.

Pedigree
Description:
GT888 resulted from cross between DK888, by a proprietary, non-stiff stalk temperate inbred producing DK888:N11, which was inbred for 2 cycles via ear-to-row; S1 and S2 families were test crossed and evaluated for yield. Selected S2 families were selfed to make S3 bulks, coded as DK888:N11F1S3 2141-002-034-B. Two more ear-to-row selfings via ear-to- were produced in GA, and selected for aflatoxin resistance followed by 3 generations of bulking to produce DK888:N11F1S3 2141-002-034-B-002-001-B3.

PRODUCTIONHeterotic GroupThe heterotic group an accession belongs to for breeding purposes. When forming hybrids that demonstrate heterosis (high performance), accessions from different heterotic groups should be crossed.NS - (NS) Belongs to the non-stiff stalk combining group. Accessions belonging to this group produce higher performing hybrids when combined with stiff stalk accessions. Mo17 would be an example of a non-stiff stalk inbred line. MAIZE.DONOR.ACC.NARRATIVE Not Available
