- Intervention effect Vitamin C pretreatment increased chlorophyll, carbohydrate and soluble protein content.
- Association Lower temperatures increased soluble sugar accumulation in kidney bean seedlings.
- Intervention effect Vitamin C pretreatment increased soluble sugar accumulation in kidney bean seedlings.
- Association Lower temperatures considerably increased kidney bean proline content.
- Intervention effect Vitamin C pretreatment enhanced the increase in kidney bean proline content.
- Mechanism Vitamin C was assumed to act with lower temperatures in decreasing proline dehydrogenase level.
- Association Lower temperatures increased kidney bean amylase and protease activities.
- Intervention effect Vitamin C pretreatment increased kidney bean amylase and protease activities.
- Association Decreasing temperature elevated kidney bean catalase and ascorbate peroxidase activities.
- Intervention effect Vitamin C pretreatment decreased kidney bean catalase and ascorbate peroxidase activities.
- Intervention effect Higher vitamin C levels better alleviated low temperature effects in kidney bean.
