PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Both freezing and drought cause cellular dehydration, and they
elicit similar increases in protective compounds, which suggests that these stresses could …

Despite evidence that prior exposure to drought can increase subsequent plant freezing
tolerance, few studies have explored such interactions over ecologically relevant time …

Premise of the Study Freezing and drought both result in cellular dehydration, and similar
physiological responses to these stressors may result in cross acclimation, whereby prior …

Background and aims Climate warming has the potential to increase both the exposure and
vulnerability of grass roots to frost in temperate regions by reducing snow cover and altering …

Drought and freezing are both known to limit desert plant distributions, but the interaction of
these stressors is poorly understood. Drought may increase freezing tolerance in leaves …

Abstract Effects of plant age on resource acquisition and stress tolerance processes is a
largely unstudied subject in herbaceous perennials. In a field experiment, we compared …

Background Plants have adapted to survive seasonal life-threatening frost and drought.
However, the timing and frequency of such events are impacted by climate change …

Globally, C4 plants dominate hot, open environments, but this general pattern is
underpinned by important differences in the biogeography of C4 lineages. In particular, the …

Frost tolerance has evolved many times independently across flowering plants. However,
conservation of several frost tolerance mechanisms among distant relatives suggests that …

Frost damage can decrease nitrogen uptake by grasses over winter, and it can also
decrease biomass production over the following growing season. However, it is not clear to …
