The 530 varieties of the National Collection of maize are available free of charge to the public. One can obtain samples of 100 kernels of each of up to 30 varieties each year.

Among the 530 varieties of the National Collection, 264 are French landraces (see the list and pictures on this site). The others are inbred lines, synthetics or varieties from French overseas countries and are most likely to interest professional breeders.  To obtain seeds of these varieties you may order them on line on the Siregal site here below:

Note: for Pro-Maïs members who have access to the whole Network Collection (national collection of genetic resources of French origin available to public and all foreign resources maintained in France) the database Siregal does not include at this time the foreign resources.

Therefore, they must access those resources by using the old database « Multicrop »

http://xcrop.inra.fr/ which will ask them their login and password to access the complete collection.

To those who want to access the genetic database Thalia, they also need a login and a password is required.
