Abstract: | Growth analysis of plants raised under controlled environments(105, 12, 15, 18 and 20 °C, and 21 h photoperiod)was used to examine whether varietal differences in the minimumgermination temperature of four bean cultivars persist duringgrowth at suboptimal temperatures. A method to estimate theminimum vegetative growth temperature, based on axis relativegrowth rate, was developed. In order to compensate for ontogeneticdrift, the harvests were conducted at the same stage of developmentof the plants. Axis relative growth rates, reduction rates ofthe cotyledons and other growth parameters were calculated inorder to compare the cultivars. Cultivar Marschallshowed better growth potential at 12 °C than the others,Pergousa at 15 °C, and Marschall,Olsok and Pergousa at 18 and 20°C. The effect of temperature on axis RGR was similar forMarschall, Olsok and Pergousa(Q10 = 2·1) and more pronounced than for Processor(Q10 = 1·3). Although there were significant differencesin the growth parameters among the cultivars within each temperatureused, the differences did not correspond with the differencesduring germination at low temperatures. The minimum vegetativegrowth temperature was close to 10 °C for all the cultivarstested.
