Abstract
Summary— Pea seeds were grown in a glasshouse and subsequently transferred to and grown in an environmentally controlled growth chamber (20 C day, for 16 h; 13 C night, for 8 h). Seven days after anthesis, plants were exposed to 28 or 31 C for 6 h during the middle of the day, for 2 or 4 consecutive days. Control plants were maintained at 20 C. Elevated temperatures did not influence growth and development of the leaves, flowers, or the number of pods per plant. However, they reduced the number of seeds per pod. By categorizing the different stages of flower and pod development at the time of elevated temperature treatment, we determined that developing seeds were thermally sensitive from about 6-12 days after the flower opened. Developing seeds exposed to high temperature during this period aborted and the net result was a reduction in pea seed yield. Extrapolating these data to field conditions we suggest relevant criteria to diagnose an effect of high temperature where reduced yields are obtained. growth / development / yield / seed abortion / critical thermoperiod / field diagnosis Rsum — Effet d'une courte priode de hautes tempratures diurnes pendant la floraison sur le nombre de graines par gousse du pois protagineux (Pisum sativum L).
