  2. GEM-Ames Website • Updated GEM cooperator’s list, GEM reports, presentations, and GEM data • Added a section of Corn Images of Recommended Lines (in PDF format) • 43 images as a total • Year 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 Germplasm Enhancement of Maize

  3. Corn Images of Recommended Lines Germplasm Enhancement of Maize

  4. Usage of GEM-Ames website(Dec. 07 to Nov. 08) • Usage: germplasm information, GEM data, and information about GEM project, etc. • Search engine: Google 16 – 39% each month • Key words: germplasm gem maize • Visitors: 187/month (up from 180/m last year) • Re-visitors: 40% (up from 36% last year) • Top 10 countries with most visitors (in descending order): US, China, India, Canada, Italy, UK, Mexico, France, Germany, & Ireland • Top 10 states/regions with most visitors (in descending order):IA, CA, NC, MO, IL, Beijing (China), NY, IN, TX, & MI Germplasm Enhancement of Maize

  6. GEM-Ames Information Management • Handout: GEM 2008 yield trial summary • GEM CD contains • Germplasm releases and key traits • Public cooperators’ reports • Yield trial data • Corn images of GEM recommended lines • Disease data from cooperators • Lab data reports • Annual report • GEM information – www.public.iastate.edu/~usda-gem Germplasm Enhancement of Maize

  7. GEM-Ames trial summary - 2008 • The date of the first data set received • 1 month later than that last year (Oct. 20) • The date of the last data set received • 2 weeks later than that last year (Dec. 2) • Thanks to the companies who sent the data before requesting • AgReliant, Wyffels, and Monsanto Germplasm Enhancement of Maize

  8. GEM-Ames trial summary - 2008 • Experiments: 56 (up from 48 last year – due to more racial sampling capacity and isolation in-kind support) • Replicated at 4 to 8 locations • Plots: 17,000 (up from 14,800 last year) • GEM cooperators’ portion: 49% (down from 57% last year) • GEM portion: 51% (up from 43% last year) Germplasm Enhancement of Maize

  9. GEM-Ames trial summary - 2008 • There are 104 GEM topcrosses that out-performed the yield of check means (out of 2682 entries of topcrosses) • The range of CV’s for yield was from 6.7 to 18.0% • Yield trial data - high lodging data this year (good selection for lodging resistant?)
