Title Response and Tolerance of Sorghum to Temperature Stress
 
Creator Peacock, J M
 
Subject Sorghum
 
Description Before attempting to address this subject it is
important to define what is understood by temperature
stress. It is a complex subject which has
recently been reviewed in three books (Lyons et
al. 1979; Levitt 1980; Turner and Kramer 1980)
therefore definitions and details of the physiological
and biochemical processes associated with
temperature stress will not be given here. In brief,
however, a quantitative definition of temperature
stress in sorghum, as in any crop, is difficult to
provide since it will depend on a number of factors
:ich will include the duration of exposure of
either high or low temperature, the activity or
stage of growth of the exposed tissue and finally
the thermal adaptation of the particular sorghum
cultivar.
