Root system development in maize seedlings has a influence on the further development of the plant; also length of mesocotyl and depth of coleoptile influence which can sow corn, play an important role in the uniformity of culture and plant growth and development. The area in witch has been created corn genotype, soil type and climate, but also some elements of technology have influenced the development of root system, the length of mesocotyl and coleoptile of the young plantlet. The paper presents variability in root system development of 40 inbred lines of corn , coleoptile and mesocotyl development in the same set of inbred lines and correlations between these characters.
