Germplasm enhancement is a relatively new term, first used to denote the act of transferring useful genes from exotic varieties or wild species into agronomically acceptable backgrounds (Jones 1983). The term was given a slightly different meaning by Duvick, who described it as "partially acclimatizing alien...

We define 'other' germplasm to include inbred lines, land races, open pollinated varieties, exotic accessions, wild species (e.g., teosinte), cultivars, and other breeding stocks. The background of the stock is everything in these types of germplasm.
