Seeds of four plant species (Glycine max (L.) Merr., Zea mays L., Brassica napus L., and Gossypium hirsutum L.) were cultivated at three different temperatures (–5°C, –1°C, and 5°C) for 12 weeks. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n = 3); p-values were calculated using a general linear model-based method.
