e0“Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is sensitive to chilling temperatures”
e1“Cold tolerance induced by glycine betaine appeared to be related to elevation of relative leaf water content, chlorophyll and sucrose, and decrease in abscisic acid as well as active oxygen species (malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide)”
