G. H. Heichel; A. W. Hovin; K. I. Henjum Crop Science 1980. doi:10.2135/cropsci1980.0011183x002000060002x
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect About 75% of seedlings at least four weeks old flowered after 12–15 weeks of cold treatment.
- Observation Cold treatment beginning at three weeks produced panicles in 22% of seedlings.
- Observation One- and two-week-old seedlings did not produce panicles after cold treatment.
- Observation Four-week-old seedlings needed at least nine cold weeks for some panicles.
- Association Thirteen-week-old seedlings produced more panicles than four-week-old seedlings after 12 cold weeks.
- Intervention effect An eight-hour cold-treatment photoperiod increased panicle emergence and panicle number relative to 16 hours.
- Observation In Vantage, 88% of panicles came from tillers emerging during cold treatment.
- Intervention effect Twelve-week cold treatment caused panicle formation in 22 diverse clones.
- Method / resource The procedure can shorten breeding generations and permit crosses within five months.
