Abstract excerpt
Chickpea is widely grown during the cooler season to avoid the adverse effects of high-temperature stress (HTS). Endogenous ascorbic acid (AsA), a prominent antioxidant, plays a crucial role in mitigating abiotic stresses in various crops. This study aimed to assess genotypic variation in AsA and to investigate the mechanisms associated with higher AsA content. The evaluation was conducted under three HTS levels...
