Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association Chilling injury developed more slowly in the high altitudinal form of wild tomato than in the low altitudinal form and the two domestic cultivars.
- Intervention effect Chloroplast activity declined in green tomato fruit held at 0 C at about the same rate as in chilled leaves.
- Mechanism The site of action of the chilling effect was water donation to photosystem II.
- Method / resource Chilling-induced impairment of chloroplast photoreduction is a useful assay for differences in chilling susceptibility of plants.
