CIMMYT Ethiopia
CIMMYT makes available to the public a set of maize inbred lines called CIMMYT Maize Genetic Resource Lines (CMGRL). The CMGRLs are derived from crosses between elite CIMMYT lines and landrace accessions, populations or synthetics from the CIMMYT Germplasm Bank. CMGRLs are intended to be used by breeders as sources of novel alleles for traits of economic importance. These lines should also be of interest to maize researchers who are not breeders but are studying the underlying genetic mechanisms of abiotic and biotic traits. The inaugural group of CMGRLs includes five subtropical-adapted lines with tolerance to drought during flowering and grain-fill and four tropical adapted lines for Tar Spot Complex resistance.
