Damage done by chilling at susceptible phases in the growth of plants is one of the most serious causes of reduced crop yields. While some success had been achieved in breeding chill-resistant varieties of a number of crop plants, progress has been slow because of the practical problem of measuring chill injury within a reasonable space of time. Very recently the technique of chlorophyll fluorescence analysis has been devised as a quick and cheap method of assay.
