摘要:Inspite of the great nutritive values of buckwheat, data about the temperature stress under abiotic stress tolerance of this plant sp. is a very major aspect for concern. The aim of this work is to find out the cytological, morphological and biochemical response of buckwheat plant against temperature stress such as heat and cold stresses. Changes in chromosome level, morphological parameters including germination and survival percentages, plant height (cm), internodal length (cm), no. of seed etc. as well as changes in content of carbohydrate, proline and chlorophyll with respect to heat and cold stress, have been investigated. Reasons for selecting this plant for temperature stress are due to its temperature stress sensitivity as well as to search possibilities for enhancing stress tolerance on different parameters. Over all it has been concluded that temperature stress especially heat stress severely affects the plant at cytological, morphological and biochemical levels as compared to cold stress.
