Abstract
Guye, M. G, Vigh, L. and Wilson, J. M. 1987. Recovery after chilling: an assessment of chill-tolerance in Phaseolus spp.—J. exp. BoL, 38: 691–701. The chill-sensitivity of three Phaseolus spp. (eight cultivars) was assessed by measuring five different physiological parameters (leaf pigment loss, leaf diffusion resistance, relative growth rate recovery, change in leaf water content and the severity of leaf necrosis) on return to the warmth (23 °C/18 °C) following a brief but severe chilling treatment (24 h at 5 °C). In this way the genotypes could be ranked in order of increasing chill-sensitivity as follows: P. coccineus cvs Prizewinner and Streamline, P. vulgaris cv. 251 < P. vulgaris cvs 194, 222 and Seafarer < P. vulgaris cv. Tendergreen < P. aweus cv. Berken.
