Narrative
Yellow dent inbred with a red cob. Developed from a synthetic undergoing recurrent full-sib selection for tolerance to sub-optimal temperatures using growth chamber evaluations. Populations also subjected to selection of surviving seedlings following exposure to post-emergence freezes in field nursery in three separate cycles of selection. S2 progneitor exhibited 100 percent germination in growth chamber under sub-optimal temperatures. Adapted to central and southern Nebraska.
