SUB-OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE GERMINATION OF 15 WATERMELON CULTIVARS

Pollen Germination of Diverse Cotton Cultivars

High temperatures during cotton flowering and early boll development can detrimentally affect cotton yield. Current commercial cultivars do not have pronounced tolerance to elevated temperatures, and improved methods of screening for thermo-tolerance are needed. The effect of heat stress on cotton has been measured with several different methods including membrane leakage, chlorophyll fluoresce...

L-Citrulline Levels in Watermelon Cultivars From Three Locations

Determining of optimal temperature for germination of lentil cultivars (Lens culinaris Medik) for autumn cultivation in Khuzestan province

Successful germination is the main factor in proper establishment and seedling yield. Information on seed germination, in the face of temperature changes at the time of planting, is a way to identify more suitable cultivars for cultivation at the planting site. For this purpose, a factorial experiment was performed based on completely randomized design with 3 replications. This experiment was c...

Tolerance of Watermelon Seedlings to Low-temperature Chilling Injury

Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] is one of the Cucurbitaceae species and subtropical crops that exhibit chilling injury (CI) when exposed to low temperatures. Watermelon seedlings were tested for chilling tolerance using methods modified from cucumber. Three experiments were conducted using different combinations of chilling durations of 6, 12, 24, or 36 hours and chillin...

Differences in in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth of cotton cultivars in response to high temperature.

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND AND AIMS High-temperature environments with >30 degrees C during flowering reduce boll retention and yield in cotton. Therefore, identification of cotton cultivars with high-temperature tolerance would be beneficial in both current and future climates. * METHODS Response to temperature (10-45 degrees C at 5 degrees C intervals) of pollen germination and pollen tube gr...
