Apart from water availability, low temperature is the most important environmental factor
limiting the productivity and geographical distribution of plants across the world. To cope …

Plant species exhibit a range of tolerances to low temperatures, and these constitute a major
determinant of their geographical distribution and use as crops. When tolerance is …

Exposure to low temperatures is one of the most important plant abiotic stress factors. In this
review we describe the damages that chilling and/or freezing temperatures can cause to …

Limited available water is the single most important factor that reduces global crop yields,
with far reaching socioeconomic implications. In North America alone, it is estimated that …

Low temperatures damage many temperate crops, including grapevine, which, when
