The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Extreme weather events (frost and heat shock), already a significant challenge for grain
producers, are predicted to increase under future climate scenarios. This paper reviews the …

Phenotyping has become the rate-limiting step in using large-scale genomic data to
understand and improve agricultural crops. Here, the Bellwether Phenotyping Platform for …

Low temperatures lead to the inhibition of sucrose synthesis and photosynthesis. The
biochemical and physiological adaptations of plants to low temperatures include the post …

The abilities of cold-hardy plants to resist deacclimation during transient warm spells and to
reacclimate when cold temperatures return are significant for winter survival. Yet compared …

The molecular genetics of vernalization, defined as the promotion of flowering by cold
treatment, is still poorly understood in cereals. To better understand this mechanism, we …

Radiant frost is a significant production constraint to wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley
(Hordeum vulgare), particularly in regions where spring-habit cereals are grown through …

Climate change has already affected and will continue to affect crop yields. It is essential to
understand and predict how the changing climate is influencing crops. This study assessed …

Wheat is occasionally exposed to freezing temperatures during ear emergence and can
suffer severe frost damage. Few studies have attempted to understand the characteristics of …

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 …
