Summary — Hardening response of winter faba beans at 8/2°C (day/night) to pre-hardening periods at 15°C of different length (3-11 days after plant emergence) and dehardening at various temperatures (7-15°C) was examined in a series of experiments with 9 European varieties through detached leaf tests. Extending the pre-hardening period lowered the level of acquired freezing resistance (FR) in the first leaf (lowest one) and obviously shortened the phase of linear increase (AFR= 0 . 4°C / day).

“…Fircks and Verwijst (1993) suggested replacing Herzog's (1987) simple method for scoring frost damage on leaves with Richards' function (generalised logistic curve) as a tool for assessing frost resistance. Freezing temperature limits plant productivity and yield, with the rate of the temperature change and the duration of the exposure to freezing temperatures being important modifying factors (Fircks and Verwijst 1993).…”

Radiant frost tolerance in pulse crops—a review

Radiant frost is a major abiotic stress, and one of the principal limiting factors for agricultural production worldwide, including Australia. Legumes, including field pea, faba bean, lentil and chickpea, are very sensitive to chilling and freezing temperatures, particularly at the flowering, early pod formation and seed filling stages. Radiant frost events occur when plants and soil absorb the sunlight during the day time and radiate heat during the night when the sky is clear and the air is still. Dense chilled air settles into the lowest areas of the canopy, where the most serious frost damage occurs. The cold air causes nucleation of the intracellular fluid in plant tissues and the subsequent rupturing of the plasma membrane. Among the cool season grain legume crops, chickpea, lentil and faba bean and field pea are the most susceptible to radiant frost injury during the reproductive stages. The more sensitive stages are flowering and podding. Frost at the reproductive stage results in flower abortion, poor pod set and impaired pod filling, leading to a drastic reduction in yield and quality. In contrast, in the UK and European countries, frost stress is related to the vegetative stages and, in particular, the effects of frost have been studied on cotyledon, uni/tri-foliolate leaf and seedling stages during the first few weeks of growth. Few winter genotypes have been identified as frost tolerant at vegetative stages. Vegetative frost tolerance is not related to reproductive frost tolerance, and hybrids from the vegetative frost-tolerant genotypes may not necessarily be tolerant at the reproductive stage. Tolerance to radiant frost has an inverse relationship with plant age. In the field, frost tolerance decreases from the vegetative stage to reproductive stage. Unlike wheat and barley, it is difficult to analyse and score frost damage in grain legume crops due to the presence of various phenophases on one plant at the reproductive stage. The extent of frost damage depends on the specific phenophases on a particular plant. However, current studies on genetic transformation of cold tolerant gene(s), membrane modifications, anti-freeze substances and ice nucleating or inhibiting agents provide useful information to improve our current understanding on frost damage and related mechanisms. The effects of frost damage on yield and grain quality illustrate the significance of this area of research. This review discusses the problem of A. Maqbool Pulses and Oilseeds, South radiant frost damage to cool season legumes in Australia and the associated research that has been carried out to combat this problem locally and worldwide. The available literature varies between species, specific climatic conditions and origin.

“…Hardening is also well known as cold acclimation and results from exposure to low, nonfreezing temperatures. For faba bean, about 5 • C and short daylength (∼8-10 hours) were effective for hardening (Herzog 1987;Arbaoui and Link 2008).…”

“…To analyze freezing resistance, assessments may be made of freezing-induced electrolyte leakage (Herzog 1987), chlorophyll fluorescence (Taulavuori et al 2000), or accumulation of proline, of certain sugars or of membranebound polyunsaturated fatty acids (Arbaoui et al 2008a). Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) have been developed for freezing resistance and related traits in faba bean (Arbaoui and Link 2008) and also in the model legume Medicago truncatula (Avia and Lejeune-Hénaut 2007).…”

“…As a further appraisal of freezing resistance, symptoms of freezing injury of young plants have been scored visually (leaves, stems, roots), and symptoms were assessed on detached, frost-treated leaves (Herzog 1987;Herzog and Olszewski 1998). For all these tests, adequate schemes of exposure to freezing temperature are necessary.…”
