Paper Summary

Low temperatures affect chlorophyll levels and photosynthesis in muskmelon seedlings. When exposed to lower temperatures, chlorophyll content decreases. The activity of the photosystem II center is damaged, and the light chemical reaction is impaired. This leads to a decrease in electron transmission rate and photosynthesis efficiency. Overall, colder temperatures negatively impact the chlorophyll levels and functioning of photosynthesis in muskmelon seedlings.
