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 | G7010.03.05 |
| Product | Al tolerant and P efficient Kenyan maize lines |
| Crop/Area | Maize |
| Type | Germplasm |
| Description | A large number Kenyan maize hybrids were screened for Al tolerance in nutrient solution and Kenyan maize top crosses for P efficiency in the field on low P and high P soils. From these phenotypic screens 34 highly Al tolerant Kenyan maize lines and 10 P efficient Kenyan maize top crosses were selected. These have been used to introgress the Al tolerance and P efficiency traits into elite Kenyan maize germplasm. |
| Current Use | Introgress of Aluminumb tolerance and P efficiency traits into elite Kenyan maize germplasm. |
