Low-temperature tolerance of maize and sorghum seedlings grown under the same environmental conditions

Even though maize (Zea mays L.) is considered to be more cold tolerant than sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], no studies have directly compared the ability of the two crops to tolerate low temperature when grown together under the same environmental conditions. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to compare the low-temperature tolerance of the two crops at the seedling stage. A second objective was to analyze seeds for size...
