In this paper we presents the results of different research programs aimed at identification of superior genotypes among MRI (Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje, Belgrade - Zemun (Serbia)) gene bank accessions, regarding stress tolerance (drought and herbicides), better nutritional quality (phosphorus) and specific traits (cytoplasmic male sterility - CMS). Fifty-two genotypes were identified as a potential source for drought tolerance. Considering herbicide tolerance only genotypes with resistance to the Pivot were found. Within 100 sources of CMS in the collection of S cytoplasm was identified as the predominant type. Phytate analysis of 60 maize populations identified three groups of populations - with low (8), intermediate (25) and high (27) phytate content. The results of these researches, which are a part of pre-breeding activities, will be included in MRI breeding programs, with the aim of developing new genotypes with improved traits important in commercial maize breeding and seed production.
