- Intervention effect Glycine betaine increased cellular respiration by 69% in chickpea under chilling stress.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine applied at the bud stage improved pollen germination, pollen viability and pollen tube growth in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine applied at the bud stage improved stigma receptivity and ovule viability in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine increased floral retention by 47% over control in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine increased pod set by 38% over control in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine increased pod retention by 23% over control in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine applied at the pod-filling stage increased seed yield per plant by 30% in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine applied at the pod-filling stage increased the number of seeds per 100 pods by 37% in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine applied at the pod-filling stage increased single-seeded pods per plant by 46% in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine applied at the pod-filling stage increased individual seed weight by 9% in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine applied at the pod-filling stage did not significantly affect the number of double-seeded pods in chickpea.
- Association Cold tolerance induced by glycine betaine appeared to be related to elevated relative leaf water content, chlorophyll and sucrose in chickpea.
- Association Cold tolerance induced by glycine betaine appeared to be related to decreased abscisic acid in chickpea.
- Association Cold tolerance induced by glycine betaine appeared to be related to decreased active oxygen species in chickpea.
