... their susceptibility to pathogenic micromycetes. Ten Vigna unguiculata samples were used. Pollen viability in vitro was assessed in a 20 % PEG 6000 solution at 25 °C for 3 hours (control) and at 6 °C for 24 hours (cold tolerance assessment). Seed germination under low temperatures was evaluated by germinating seeds on filter paper at 10, 12, and 25 °C (control), as well as in soil at a constant 25 °C and under a regime of 10 °C for 10 days followed by 25 °C. Root system adaptability to low ...
