Abstract Identification of plant tolerance to heat requires novel strategies for measuring plant responses to this stress. Leaf electrolyte leakage is an indirect method that can be utilized as selection criteria for heat tolerance in plants, but it has to be adapted to each species. The objectives of this study were to measure heat-induced leaf electrolyte leakage in corn and bean to determine heat tolerant genotypes, and also to establish the optimal developmental stage for use of electrolyte leakage as selection criteria. This study included two genotypes of corn (Zea mays L.), and other two of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), measured… More >
