Abstract
SummarySix opaque·2 (O2) inbred lines and the single, three-way and double-cross hybrids derived from them were compared for emergence at low temperatures with their analogous normal inbred lines and hybrids. The results demonstrate that there is an increasing difference in emergence between the o2 and the normal forms with an increase in the period of incubation, the o2 types being inferior, in general, to the normal.A treatment of seeds with fungicides like Quinolate V4X, TMTD–Lindan and Vitavax 75W before sowing improved the cold tolerance of both the o2 and normal analogues, but the o2 forms remained far below the level of the normal.
