SCREENING FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE TOLERANCE IN WHEAT SPECIES THROUGH SEEDLING VIGOUR INDEX AND COLEOPTILE LENGTH
Main Article Content
Abstract
Laboratory experiments to screen wheat genotypes for high temperature tolerance at germination and seedling vigour index indicated a large variation among genotypes in respect of germination, root and shoot development. The germination progressively and significantly decreased with increase in temperature from 25 to 35°C. Shoot length gave a differential response to higher temperature, seedling vigour index obtained by multiplication of root length with germination per cent gives vigour index of seedling under high temperature.
