Germplasm Conservation
The mission of the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station is to conserve genetically-diverse crop germplasm and associated information, to conduct germplasm-related research, and to encourage the use of germplasm and associated information for research, crop improvement and product development.
Crops curated:
- Amaranth, Grasses, & Umbels (David Brenner)
- Brassica, Cuphea, Flax, & Helianthus (Laura Marek)
- Cucumis, Cucurbita, & Daucus (Kathy Reitsma)
- Medicinals (Joe-Ann McCoy)
- Ornamentals (Mark Widrlechner)
- Zea mays (Mark Millard)
At the NCRPIS, we worked with researchers on the following topics:
- Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (GEM)
- Information Technology
- Plant Pathology
- Seed Storage
- Viability Testing and Research
Much of this information (and far more) can be gleaned from the USDA-ARS NCRPIS website at:
