β¦ Synopsis
North Carolina Design III and generation means analyses were used to study the inheritance of seedling emergence time and a related seedling growth parameter in crosses between 5-154, a line from CIMMYT Pool 5 with rapid seedling emergence under cool conditions, and two Corn Belt Dent lines of maize (Zea mays L.). The crosses were evaluated at low temperatures in controlled environment rooms. Additive genetic variances were larger than dominance variances in both crosses and estimates of the average levels of dominance were in the partial dominance range. Dominance was in the direction of rapid seedling emergence and rapid utilization of seed reserve. Estimates of minimum numbers of effective factors provided evidence for polygenic inheritance.

The genetic relationship between vegetative growth at low temperatures and productivity was investigated for strawberries grown in controlled and field environments. Genotypes from 20 biparental crosses were grown in controlled environments with 11Β°, 14Β°, and 17 Β°C days, 11 Β°C nights, and 11-h dayle
