Effect of heat stress in normal-sown and late-sown (heat-stressed) plants Chickpea [(A: Biomass in control (a) and heat-stressed (b), Pollen load in control (c) and heat-stressed (d), Pollen viability in control (e) and heat-stressed (f) pollen viability in control (g) and heat-stressed (h), Stigm receptivity in control (i) and heat-stressed (j) (Kaushal et al., 2013)], Mungbean [(B; Pollen viability in control (a) and heat-stressed (b), pollen germination in control (c) and heat-stressed (d), and SEM observations on pollen morphology in control (e) and heat-stressed (f) (Kaur et al., 2015)], and lentil [(C; Pollen viability in control (a) and heat-stressed (b), Pollen germination in control (c) and heat-stressed (d), Pollen load in control (e) and heat-stressed (f), stigma receptivity in control (g) and heat-stressed (h), ovule viablity in control (i) and heat-stressed (j)]. Notice reduction in pollen load, pollen viability, in vitro pollen germination, stigma receptivity and ovule viabilty in heat-stressed plants of all the legumes (Kaushal et al., 2013; Kaur et al., 2015).
