Abstract
To determine lethal temperature of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. cv Vernal) at heat-stressed conditions, seedlings grown in a small pots for 4 weeks were subjected to different temperature regimes of heat treatment. No apparent demage was observed when the plants were treated at 45, 50 or $60^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Heat treatments at 60 and $65^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, several plants were withered and showed damage symptom on their leaves. When the plants were exposed to $70^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, most of leaves were severely withered, but it was not lethal conditions for the whole plants. By contrast, most of plants were died within one day after heat treatment at $80^{\circ}C$ for 1h. Furthermore, plants exposed to $80^{\circ}C$ for 50 min were also died within 7 days. It was found that new shoots were regenerated from the plants that had been treated at $80^{\circ}C$ within 45 min. These results indicate that heat treatment at $80^{\circ}C$ for 50 min is an optimum condition to distinguish the lethality of alfalfa plants. Simple viability assay system established in this study will be useful fer selection and characterization of heat-tolerant transgenic alfalfa plants.
