Question
Chapter 39, Problem 4U
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The plants normally adopt the changes in temperature, if the temperature change occurs uniformly. When the temperature drops instantly, the plants show some changes to lowering of the temperature. The process of lowering of temperature suddenly is called as chilling in the plants. This results in physiological stress in the plants.
