摘要
The abortion of buds and flower buds induced by low night temperature stress is an important constraint to the production of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) grown in unheated greenhouses during winter. The abortion of floral structures was investigated in two local hot pepper varieties ('Beldi and 'Baklouti') grown in a growth chamber at a day/night temperature regime of either low night temperature (25/10 degrees C, LNT) or optimum night temperature (25/20 degrees C, ONT as a control). The negative effect of LNT on the differentiation of floral structures, expressed by the percentage abortion, was recorded for both varieties. LNT affected pepper floral structures early: buds and flower bud stages were more sensitive than flowers at the anthesis stage. The percentage abortion of these structures was less pronounced in 'Beldi' (41.5 %) than in 'Baklouti' (49.6 %) after 5 d of the treatment.
