The Maize Genetics Cooperation • Stock Center is now the main repository for maize mutants utilized in research and development by cooperators worldwide. It is an essential resource to maize scientists conducting basic and applied biological research to produce knowledge and to develop new public or commercial varieties. The Stock Center is designed primarily to provide a service to all maize cooperators by assembling, perpetuating and supplying seed samples for use in research and development in both the public and commercial sectors. It is the goal of the Maize Genetics Cooperation • Stock Center to acquire, maintain, and make available, stocks containing all known allelic and cytological variation in maize and information about them. Any available stock(s) will be sent upon request without charge and with no obligations or restrictions on the recipient's use of the mutant(s). It is the policy of the Maize Genetics Cooperation • Stock Center not to accept stocks encumbered by restrictions of an MTA, IP or other proprietary rights.

Maize, which is originally from the Americas, now feeds much of Africa. Europe and Africa contributed their plants to the Americas, including coffee, grapes and wheat. The introduction of the camel to Africa from Arabia allowed people to live and travel in more extreme environments and added protein from meat and milk to diets.
