Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Cold stress increased membrane damage in chickpea anthers and ovules, particularly sensitive genotypes.
- Intervention effect Cold stress reduced cellular viability in chickpea anthers and ovules, especially sensitive genotypes.
- Observation Oxidative damage was more pronounced in anthers at anthesis.
- Observation Malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide were elevated in anthers at anthesis.
- Intervention effect Cold tolerant chickpea genotypes increased antioxidant activity under stress at pre anthesis, declining later.
- Observation Antioxidant activity declined at later stages in cold tolerant chickpea genotypes.
- Observation Chickpea anthers had higher overall antioxidant activity than ovules.
- Observation Chickpea ovules had notably high catalase activity.
- Observation Ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase were most prominent antioxidants in cold tolerant chickpea.
- Observation Cold tolerant chickpea had higher ascorbate and glutathione levels.
- Intervention effect Exogenous ascorbate and glutathione stimulated pollen germination under cold stress, especially in sensitive genotypes.
