(Results of more than 500 will not return images.)

This search will show only accessions that have material that may be requested, including those not seasonally available.
You may list accessions with separators (commas or semicolons, as shown below) or by entering them on separate lines, such as

0PI 632413'GEMS-0002'Zea mays L. subsp. mays Ohio, United StatesNC7KERNELS2002DEVELOPED03/24/2002CultivarSelected from the GEM FS8(A)S:S09 population. Genetic composition of the population FS8(A)S (PI 536619) is estimated to be approx. 50% BSSS related, 21% tropical, 18% southeastern U.S., and 11% diverse Corn Belt (with a high proportion of inbred C103A). Breeder's seed of GEMS-0002 was increased by controlled full-sib pollination of the S3 in the 2002 OSU nursery. Seed from over 100 ears was bulked for distribution. It has been released to GEM cooperators following the GEM protocol. Mid-silk date is approx. one week earlier than that of B73 in Ohio, and it produces moderate amounts of pollen. Plant height is quite moderate (ave=133.2 cm) and ear placement is slightly below mid-plant height (ave=55.8 cm). Cob color is white and ears generally display 12 kernel rows (average 12.5, range 10-16). Ear width is approx. 3.8 cm (range 3.5 to 4.4 cm). Ear length is approx. 13.2 cm (range 11 to 15 cm). Kernels are yellow to yellow-orange in color and are slightly dented to flinty and have a 100 kernel weight of 21.7 g. Grain protein composition is somewhat elevated (approx. 2 to 2.5 points above B73) and average density is 1.35 g/cc. Line has not been exposed to high levels of foliar or stalk-rotting diseases and definitive information concerning its susceptibility to pests and diseases is unknown. GEMS-0002 is intended as a breeding resource for the improvement and diversification of elite, non-'Lancaster Sure-Crop' related inbreds. Unique in that it has a relatively high proportion of tropical germplasm yet is able to impart earliness to hybrids. It has potential as a source of germplasm in breeding programs throughout much of the U.S. Corn Belt. Recommended that it be introduced into breeding programs by crossing with elite inbreds followed by modified pedigree selection. Using this method, it is anticipated the agronomic characteristics can still be improved since only one cycle of selection has been practiced.1641703PI 632413
