N2  - The importance of day length as a determining factor in the time of floral initiation in plants was first reported by GARNER and ALLARD (1920). Since then numerous investigations have been conducted on this phenomenon, and many plants have been classified into short-day, long-day and day-neutral types on the basis of their response to photoperiod. All known varieties of teosinte belong to the short-day group of plants, while North American maize varieties are little influenced by photoperiod, and may be classified as day-neutral types. The fact that fertile hybrids may be readily produced between maize and teosinte affords an excellent opportunity for a study of the inheritance of this short-day character in hybrids between the two species
