%X 0t, n.s.). These relationships suggested that it might be possible to develop early flowering cultivars with increased seed yield by selecting for higher RGR before anthesis. RGR of BC 2 F 3:4 lines in the field during winter was correlated with RGR at low temperatures (13/4&#176;C) in a controlled environment, suggesting that genotypes producing more dry weight at anthesis grew more at the low temperatures normally experienced in the field. This was supported by a significant (P &#60; 0.05 0.05) negative correlation (r = &#8211;0.69**) between growth in the field and potassium leakage from leaf tissue at 4
