Various seed traits in control and heat-stressed mung bean genotypes.
| Trait | Heat-tolerant | Heat-sensitive | LSD (P < 0.05) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | Heat-stressed | Control | Heat-stressed | ||
| Seed growth rate (mg day–1) |
8.5 ± 0.54a | 6.8 ± 0.48b | 6.4 ± 0.61b | 3.2 ± 0.53c | 0.68 |
| Seed-filling duration (days) | 31.3 ± 1.7a | 29.7 ± 1.5 b | 25.6 ± 1.4c | 16.5 ± 1.6d | 1.6 |
| Seed number (plant–1) | 163.4 ± 5.1a | 142.1 ± 4.7b | 121.3 ± 5.9c | 76.8 ± 4.2d | 5.9 |
| Seed weight (g plant–1) | 5.78 ± 0.35a | 4.66 ± 0.26b | 4.02 ± 0.28c | 2.41 ± 0.25d | 0.31 |
| Individual seed weight (g) | 0.034 ± 0.004a | 0.026 ± 0.003b | 0.024 ± 0.004c | 0.016 ± 0.003d | 0.0046 |
Values represent mean ± SE (n = 3) along with LSD values (P < 0.05). Different letters in a row for a trait indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).
