The Product Catalogue is an evolving compilation of a diverse array of products derived from tangible outputs of projects supported in whole or in part by the CGIAR Generation Challenge Programme. As projects mature, more products are added. Products are listed under the specific project crop or Global. Under each crop, you will find diverse types of products, such as germplasm, markers, genomics resources and informatics applications. Global includes products applicable to several or all crops and generally includes informatics tools and learning materials. We consider all catalogued products as useful. However, our user base is highly varied and includes upstream as well as downstream plant scientists. Not all products will be of direct interest to breeders. Consequently, a BUL (Breeding Use Level) rating has been provided to indicate the direct usefulness of products to breeders:
| Breeding Use Levels | |
| BUL | Description |
| 1 | Ready to use for breeding (I.e. predictive markers, germplasm of acceptable agronomic type containing a well-defined and characterized trait, and etc.). |
| 2 | Qualified use for breeding (i.e germplasm in which trait genetics have not been well defined or markers that may be informative but not necessarily predictive). |
| 3 | Indirectly useful for breeding (i.e. genomic resources from which downstream products for breeding are developed and many informatics applications). |
| 4 | Not developed for breeding, per se (i.e. miscellaneous information as socio-economic reports). |

| Product Number | G4008.01 |
| Product | Rice MAGIC populations |
| Crop/Area | Rice |
| Type | Germplasm |
| Description | Four MAGIC populations (indica, indica Plus, japonica, and Global (indica x japonica). These are being used to different degrees. Over 2000 MAGIC lines have been distributed to multiple countries and scientists. These include the entire japonica MAGIC population (>400 lines), a subset of indica MAGIC population, breeder selections from indica MAGIC and Global MAGIC, and selected lines from Multi-Environment Trials (MET). |
| Current Use | As parentals and donors of multiple QTLs in breeding programs. For materials that have gone through multi-location tests, may be used as released materials in advanced trials in irrigated and rainfed ecoystems |
