▪ Abstract Many plants increase in freezing tolerance upon exposure to low nonfreezing
temperatures, a phenomenon known as cold acclimation. In this review, recent advances in …

Temperature and light are important environmental stimuli that have a profound influence on
the growth and development of plants. Wheat varieties can be divided on the basis of …

This publication opens with the inevitable introduction, moves on to the present traditional
approach to breeding for yield stability, and then enumerates a detailed discussion of the …

Abstract Frost Resistance-1 (FR-1) and FR-2 are two loci affecting freezing tolerance and
winter hardiness of the temperate-climate cereals. FR-1 is hypothesized to be due to the …

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) forecasts a 34% increase in
the world population by 2050. As a consequence, the productivity of important staple crops …

The efficiency of the excitation capture by open Photosystem II (PSII) reaction centres was
measured by the Fv/Fm ratios in a collection of winter and spring oats in order to assess the …

Exposure of plants to low temperature (LT) produces a myriad of measurable changes in
morphological, biochemical, and physiological characters that are often highly correlated …

Winterhardiness in cereals is the consequence of a number of complex and interacting
component characters: cold tolerance, vernalization requirement, and photoperiod …

Abstract The Plant Kingdom encompasses a grouping of mostly sessile organisms that show
extreme variation in morphology, size, ecological adaptation, life cycle, and climatic …

Herbaceous temperate plants are capable of developing freezing tolerance when they are
exposed to low nonfreezing temperatures. Acquired freezing tolerance involves extensive …
