Fig. 1From: Maize plants can enter a standby mode to cope with chilling stressEffect of chilling on leaf appearance rate in 6 inbred lines of maize. The 7-day chilling treatment (10 °C day/7 °C night) was applied at the 5-VL stage (grey zone). Decimal leaf stage was measured on 15 plants per genotype; results shown are means ± sd. Open symbols show plants grown in control conditions; filled symbols show chilled plants. Upper line: Flint inbreds; lower line: Dent inbreds. * indicates significant growth during chilling (slope different from 0)Back to article page
