Temperature of the water will only affect plant growth if the water is either so hot or cold that it will destory plant cells. Optimum temperature is between 75-85 degrees F.
Cold water is acceptable, but only on a limited use and should never get below 40 degrees F.

The info is out there. Nursery industry is always looking for ways to keep the roots in containerized plants at the appropriate temps:

(go to the end and look at the HortScience 31:813-814 citing) I suspect your info will be found in horticulture journals.
Also the floral industry (when it was still in the US and not over seas) was experimenting with heating the water before applying to crops. Perhaps that info is still floating around.
As for boiling water, there you'd be looking at plants that grow near volcanic vents both on land and the sea.
Freezing temps, look to plants look to tundra plants.

My husband and I call our local nursery when we have questions about our plants. They are very informative and have a horticulturist there that is extremely knowledgable. The nursery we go to is Frank Ottes. i don't know if you have one where you live but I bet most any of them could answer your questions or tell you where you could find the information you need.

plants like water that is close to air temperature, too hot can burn and too cold can freeze delicate tissues.
