- Latin American maize germplasm regeneration and conservation(CIMMYT, 1997) Taba, S.During 1992-96, a collaborative project involving genebanks of 14 countries in Latin America, with economic and/or technical support from USDA under project Noah, the USDA-ARS National Seed Storage Laboratory (NSSL), and CIMMYT, rescued nearly 7,000 endangered collections of maize landraces and strengthened cooperation on maize genetic resource conservation and management in the Americas. This publication contains information from a wrap-up meeting of all participants, including detailed descriptions of activities, results, and plans for subsequent regeneration efforts.
Publication - Latin American maize germplasm conservation: regeneration, in situ conservation, core subsets, and prebreeding(CIMMYT, 2005) Taba, S.This publication describes progress in collaborative efforts to document, characterize, regenerate, and conserve (both in seed banks and on-farm in situ) maize seed collections from the Americas since 1998. Participants from North, Central, and South America took part in a workshop at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) from 7-10 April, 2003, to discuss these issues as well as those related to core subsets and prebreeding for maize. Topics covered included: the growth of CIMMYT’s maize collection through the Cooperative Regeneration Project; core subsets and prebreeding; conservation and use of local maize races in Oaxaca and Chihuahua; kernel characteristics and tortilla making quality of maize accessions from Mexico, the Caribbean, South and Central America; and enhancement of farmers’ varieties using an example from Coahuila, Mexico. Status reports on collections held in 12 countries in the region are provided.
Publication - The CIMMYT Maize Germplasm Bank: genetic resource preservation, regeneration, maintenance, and use(CIMMYT, 1994) Taba, S.Originally developed as background information for participants in a 1992 external review of the CIMMYT Maize Germplasm Bank and related activities, this publication recounts CIMMYT's role in the early work of marshalling maize genetic resources, tells how the materials collected have been utilized, summarizes current activities of the Maize Germplasm Bank, and describes directions in which CIMMYT activities on maize genetic resources are evolving to encourage more effective and widespread use of bank accessions.
