 Well, the GEU Genetic Evaluation and Utilization Program was started in 1973 at Erie, and it was a program to get a large number of scientists involved with evaluating the potential genes and germplasm at Erie and for the use of that germplasm in breeding for different important traits of rice, including the unfairable environments where you have drought and submergence, deep water race, upland rice, all those aspects. So I think it was really a very excellent program. Of course, one of the reasons it was successful, I think, was there were a lot of resources available. They really had quite a good budget, and so they were able to hire a lot of people to help with screening the germplasm for many different traits, and there were many people involved from different disciplines, physiologists, entomologists, pathologists, serial chemists, many people who looked at different aspects of rice and different traits in rice and looked to discover new genes and new donors for the breeding programs. It was a very successful effort. I came more or less in the middle of the GU program, and I think all of the breeders benefited immensely from the identification of these varieties, which we've still been using them as parents in our breeding program. So it was a very farsighted and intense effort to mine the rice gene bank, which we had at Erie, and in that sense it was a very successful program. It stopped sometime in the late 80s. I don't remember the exact year that it stopped, but one of the problems was it was a bit expensive to run that program, and so the funding kind of ran out, and I think also a lot of scientists felt that after doing something first or at a time, it's better to try some different approach or some other effort. So it stopped around then, and it's been going on at a fairly low level. Every once in a while somebody will go in and start screening for the gene bank for some traits. However, I do think we're ripe to actually revive a kind of effort on GU, like we had in the 1980s, and I think that with the new tools of microbiology, as well as the larger collection that we have now with a lot of new entries, it would be a good idea to revisit that and to see how we could go about a new effort, and that new effort would involve things like sequencing a larger number of varieties and large-scale phenotyping, large-scale screening for important characteristics, and in fact there are new traits that were not even screened then that we could look at. So I think that it would be worthwhile to revisit the whole area of the GU program and maybe initiate a GU program phase two perhaps with more modern technology.
