NC-7 The Introduction. Multiplication. Preservation and Deter- 



mination of Potential Value of New Plants, for Industrial and 

 Other Purposes and for the Preservation of Valuable Germ Plasm 

 of Economic Plants . To! (1) cooperate in an exploration pro- 

 gram for foreign and domestic plant materials and determination 

 of their potential industrial or other value; (2) set up a pri- 

 mary regional plant introduction station for such seed or plant- 

 ing stock adapted to and of potential value in the North Central 

 Region with secondary stations when necessary: (3) catalog, 

 preserve, multiply and distribute such materials; (4) maintain 

 and preserve the germ plasm of crop plants of economic value; 

 and (5) to coordinate this program with that of other regions. 

 Cooperating stations: Federal-grant projects -

S-l Genetics and Cytology of Cotton . To (l) accumulate, main- 



tain, evaluate, and utilize cotton species, interspecific hy- 

 brids, races and genetic types; (2) produce interspecific hy- 

 brids and study their cytological and cytogenetic behavior; 

 (3) study the inheritance of quantitative and qualitative 

 characters.

S-9 The Introduction, Multiplication, and Evaluation of New 



Plants for Industrial and Agricultural Use and the Preservation 

 of Valuable Germ Plasm . To: (1) cooperate in a coordinated 

 program of foreign and domestic plant exploration and intro- 

 duction; (2) multiply, evaluate and maintain introduced mate- 

 rials adapted to the Southern Region; (3) catalog and distrib- 

 ute introduced plant materials and maintain records of their 

 use in the region; (4) maintain and preserve germ plasm of 

 field and horticultural crops of economic value; and (5) co- 

 ordinate these programs with similar programs in other regions.
