CIMMYT' s maize genetic resources program has a mandate to conserve tropica1 maize genetic resources. It currently conserves more than 21,000 landrace accessions from the Americas. The seed is conserved both in active and base storage conditions at internationa1 standards. Also, re1ated information such as passport and regeneration data is compiled when CIMMYT receives new accessions from collaborators. Phenotypic diversity has been evaluated among landrace accessions of some of the Latin American maize races and their preliminary breeder core subsets have been developed for use in maize improvement.
