Garden pea is a cool season leguminous vegetable crop with a temperature requirement of 15-23°C, for its optimum growth. Thus, it is mainly grown as a rabi season crop in India. Increased CO2 concentration in the environment has led to global warming. All the seedlings of pea lines were taken in uniformly after 48h and grown in completely randomized design (CRD) block with three replications having twenty seedlings per replication. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Division of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, ICAR- Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru.
