BACKGROUND Low temperatures decrease the capacity for biomass production and lead to growth retardation up to irreversible cellular damage in modern maize cultivars. European flint landraces are an untapped genetic resource for genes and alleles conferring cold tolerance which they acquired during their adaptation to the agroecological conditions in Europe. RESULTS Based on a phenotyping experiment of 276 doubled haploid lines derived from the European flint landrace "Petkuser Ferdinand Rot" diverging for cold tolerance, we s
