Abstract
VITAMIN C pretreatments showed pronounced mitigating effects…..on kidney bean under different temperatures, where thegermination %, seedling gr owth and vigor were significantlyincreased, compared with the corresponding results obtained underexposure to different temperatures without vitamin C pretreatments.A similar trend was shown with regard to total chlorophyll, totalcarbohydrate and soluble protein contents. Lower temperatures as wellas vitamin C pretreatments led to higher accumulation of soluble sugarcontents in seedlings. Proline content was considerably increased bylower temperature levels and vitamin C pretreatments also enhancedits increase. Vitamin C was assumed to act synergistically with lowertemperatures in decreasing proline dehydrogenase level. The activitylevels of some hydrolytic enzymes and antioxidant enzymes wereaffected by both lower temperatures and vitamin C treatments. Thus,amylase and protease activities were significantly increased by lowertemperatures and vitamin C pretreatments. Catalase and ascorbateperoxidase activities were remarkably elevated by decreasingtemperature but were decreased as a result of vitamin C pretreatments.Higher vitamin C levels were more effective in alleviating the adverseeffects of lower temperature on the above mentioned criteria of thekidney bean.
