Low temperatures affect avocado plants and their response varies according to genetic traits. Plant physiologists of Londrina State University (Brazil) have investigated the cold stress of avocado cultivars based on visual, physiological, and biochemical criteria for evaluating freezing injury in these plants.
For the study, Geada, Fortuna, Fuerte, Quintal, Margarida, and Primavera avocado cultivars were subjected to temperatures of 2.5, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 C for 1 h in a growth chamber. Their re
