Various effects of cold stress on the reproductive phase of wild chickpea plant, tolerant accessions under cold stress have healthy flower (a), healthy pod (c), normal flower development stages (g), more viable pollen grains (l, m),healthy anther dehiscence (i), healthy and highly receptive stigma (p, q), more pollen load (r, s) and viable and healthy ovule (x, y). Sensitive accessions under cold stress have aborted flower (b), aborted pods (d), exposed anther due to cold stress (e, f), stages of aborted flower development (h), distorted anthers under cold stress (k), non-viable pollen grains (n, o), poor anther dehiscence (j), low stigma receptivity (t, u), less pollen load (v, w), non-viable and distorted ovule (z, Z).
