In 2019, the Maize Genetics Executive Committee (MGEC) voted to establish a 501c3 now called the Maize Genetics Cooperation (MGC). After the formation of the MGC the MGEC was no longer active. This webpage contains historical information related to the MGEC.
It is the mission of the Maize Genetics Executive Committee to identify
both the needs and the opportunities for maize genetics, and to communicate
this information to the broadest possible life science community. This
community includes scientists, funding sources for scientists, and the
end users for the accomplishments of maize genetics, from farmers to
consumers. - Jeff Bennetzen, MNL 75
