Effect of Low Temperature on Cell Division and Morphology of Wheat

The book "Effect of Low Temperature on Cell Division and Morphology of Wheat" by Ghasem Karimzadeh provides a comprehensive study of the effects of low temperatures on the cellular behavior of wheat, particularly the varieties Triticum aestivum cv. Katepwa and cv. Beaver. The study analyzes the responses of cells in the roots and shoots under various temperature conditions, with the plants initially cultivated at 20ºC and then transferred to 4ºC for 14 days. The results show that cold exposure adversely affects the growth of both varieties; however, the winter-hardy variety Beaver exhibits a faster relative growth rate in the shoot meristem. These findings are crucial for understanding cell division and morphology under stress conditions and offer valuable insights for plant research and breeding.
