  3. Your Employment(Survey Responses: 84)

  4. Main Region of Your Company

  5. Primary Field(s) of Discipline

  6. Do you use GEM germplasm in your maize plant breeding project?

  7. What factors limit your use of GEM germplasm?

  8. GEM germplasm makes up what percentage of your breeding program?

  9. Rate the importance of each trait:

  10. Rate each disease for importance:

  11. Rate each insect for importance:

  12. Grain Quality Ratingsfor importance:

  13. Do you plan to continue to use GEM material in your plant breeding program?

  14. How do you view first cycle GEM lines being used in your program?

  15. Do you think the GEM project should commit resources to recycling release GEM lines, or should this function be left to the maize industry and public research community?

  16. Will the diversity found within GEM germplasm contribute to your program in ways not addressed in the survey questions?

  17. We would like to acknowledge and give special thanks to the GEM TSG and Chairman Wifredo Salhuana. Special appreciation is also extended to Dave Bubeck, Christie Leonard, and Karin Bennett of Pioneer Hi-Bred International for providing the on-line survey.
