Sub-zero temperatures put plants at risk of damage associated with the formation of ice
crystals in the apoplast. Some freeze-tolerant plants mitigate this risk by expressing ice …

Overwintering plants secrete antifreeze proteins (AFPs) to provide freezing tolerance. These
proteins bind to and inhibit the growth of ice crystals that are formed in the apoplast during …

Ice nucleation and growth is an important and widespread environmental process.
Accordingly, nature has developed means to either promote or inhibit ice crystal formation …

Solanaceae is one of the major economically important families of higher plants and has
played a central role in human nutrition since the dawn of human civilization. Therefore …

Antifreeze proteins restrict the growth of ice crystals during recrystallization and therefore
find application in the protection of food products from damage upon freezing. Hippophae …

Main conclusion Conjugated sugars showed antifreeze activity in the cuticle by ice
recrystallization inhibition rather than thermal hysteresis, enhancing freezing capacity at the …

Antifreeze proteins are ice-binding or ice-structuring proteins that prevent water from
freezing by adsorbing to the ice surface and stopping the growth of minute ice crystals to …

Sub-zero temperatures pose a major threat to the survival of cold-climate perennials. Some
of these freeze-tolerant plants produce ice-binding proteins (IBPs) that offer frost protection …

Abstract The Antarctic green alga Chlamydomonas sp. ICE-L was isolated from sea ice. As a
psychrophilic microalga, it can tolerate the environmental stress in the sea-ice brine, such as …

Seabuckthorn is a freeze‐tolerant Himalayan shrub, capable of withstanding temperatures
below− 40° C. Antifreeze proteins prevent freezing associated damage by restricting ice …
