The effect of variable autumn temperatures in combination with decreasing irradiance and
daylength on photosynthesis, growth cessation and freezing tolerance was investigated in …

The expected temperature rise in late summer/early autumn can change the conditions for
acclimation and affect the winter survival of perennial crops. This study examined the effect …

Predicted increases in winter temperatures may negatively impact winter survival by
preventing maximal cold acclimation prior to freezing temperatures. Accordingly, research is …

Growth of perennial grasses in the fall represents a balance between an extended growing
season and increased vulnerability to frost. Within species along latitudinal gradients, plants …

Alpine plants in Australia are increasingly exposed to more frequent drought and
heatwaves, with significant consequences for physiological stress responses. Acclimation is …

Climate warming can change the winter weather patterns. Warmer temperatures during
winter result in a lower risk of extreme freezing events. On the other hand the predicted …

Highlights•Temperature interacts with light conditions in the regulation of freezing
tolerance.•Seasonal regulation of freezing tolerance it tightly linked to growth and …

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a cool‐season turfgrass species that can exhibit
significant freezing injury in northern climatic regions. The objective of this study was to …

Autumnal growth cessation in non-native grass species is inadequate for sufficient cold
acclimation. Cold acclimation is influenced to various degrees by growth cessation and …

Winter conditions are subjected to rapid climate changes. Increased precipitation and snow
melting during warmer winters may result in low‐temperature flooding. These factors …
