The Maize Handbook represents the collective efforts of the maize
research community to enumerate the key steps of standard
procedures and to disseminate these protocols for the common good.
Although the material in this volume is drawn from experience with
maize, many of the procedures, protocols, and descriptions are
applicable to other higher plants, particularly to other grasses.
The power and resolution of experiments with maize depend on the
wide range of specialized genetic techniques and marked stocks;
these materials are available today as the culmination of nearly
100 years of genetic research. A major goal of this volume is to
introduce this genetical legacy and to highlight current stock
construction programs that will soon benefit our work, e. g.
high-density RFLP maps, deletion stocks, etc. Both stock
construction and maintenance are relatively straightforward in
maize as a result of the ease of crossing and the longevity of
stored seeds. Crossing is facilitated by the separate staminate
(tassel) and pistillate (ear) flowers, a feature almost unique to
maize. On the other hand, many of the genetic methodologies
utilized with maize, including the precision of record keeping, can
be adapted to other plants. Facile communication and a spirit of
co-operation have characterized the maize genetics community since
its earliest days. Starting in the 1930s, institutions such as
annual Maize Genetics Cooperation Newsletter, the Maize Genetics
Stock Center, and the annual maize genetics meeting provide
continuity to the field.
