Influence of temperature on plant morphology traits and their relationship to relative growth rate in wild and cultivated Capsicum accessions

摘要: SummaryIn the Netherlands, sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants are grown in heated greenhouses. Lowering greenhouse temperature results a substantial reduction energy use. In order to grow crops under lowered temperatures, cultivars required which adapted such conditions. this study, we compared variance adaptation low temperatures six cultivated varieties that collection of ten wild and Capsicum accessions. The was defined terms variation difference relative growth rate (RGR) between different Our illustrated within group peppers, low-temperature tolerance limited, breeders should exploit genetic species breed for trait. RGR, however, is difficult expensive assess. Therefore, also studied morphological plant ...
