Project description
The project aims to develop an ecophyiological protocol for screening of
chilling tolerance, so that a significant greenhouse energy saving is
realised. Measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence, membrane integrity,
proline and turgidity are indicative for chilling stress. Their discriminating
performance will be determined through sensitivity analysis and forms the
basis of the hierarchical protocol.
