Accomplishments
Promote and raise awareness of plant breeding through the active interaction of NCR representatives with the Plant Breeding Coordinating Committee (SCC 80) plant breeding institutes, and international consortiums and disseminate information from annual meetings worldwide.
Interact with other Multistate Research Committees (e.g., NCR-25, NEC- 29) and other important groups (Maize Genetics) to stay abreast of the latest research of disciplines that are important in corn breeding;
Assess biotechnology tools, breeding methods, and potential profitable alternatives for impact in corn breeding; and
Train the next generation of corn breeders
Impacts
- 1. Individual research project results were reported to the group so group members can benefit from the findings of others. This facilitates cooperative research, which enables public corn breeding to make progress more rapidly and efficiently. Ultimately, this leads to increased yield and quality of the US corn crop.
