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:
