“…However, this answer does not mean that these seedlings would growth efficiently with high vigor, considering exposure to adverse environmental conditions. Similar results were reported in a study performed with rice seedlings subjected to different temperature stress (15, 25, 30 and 35°C) for 24h, where the more vigorous seedlings were those subjected to lower temperatures, between 15 and 25°C (MARINI et al, 2012). However, in the same experiment, higher temperatures (>25°C) did not affect early seedling growth, since growth and dry mass of shoots and roots decreased.…”
