Temperate and boreal plants show natural low temperature acclimation during autumn. This
cold acclimation process results in increased freezing tolerance. Global climate change is …

Abiotic stress has a significant impact on plant growth and development. It causes changes
in the subcellular organelles, which, due to their stress sensitivity, can be affected. Cellular …

Drought is a major limiting factor of crop productivity worldwide and its incidence is predicted
to increase under climate change. Drought adaptation of cool-season grasses is thus a …

During low temperature exposure, Arabidopsis thaliana and many other plants from
temperate climates increase in freezing tolerance in a process termed cold acclimation …

Background During low temperature exposure, temperate plant species increase their
freezing tolerance in a process termed cold acclimation. This is accompanied by dampened …

Due to global climate change in Western Canada, winter cereals will be exposed to a higher
frequency of winter thaws which will increase crown water and thereby reduce freezing …

The high-altitude alpine regions are characterized by highly variable and harsh
environmental conditions. However, relatively little is known about the diverse mechanisms …

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 …
