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 …

The increase in surface temperature of the Earth indicates a lower risk of exposure for
temperate grassland and crop to extremely low temperatures. However, the risk of low winter …

An understanding of the causes of genotype× environment (GE) interaction can help identify
traits that contribute to better cultivar performance and environments that facilitate cultivar …

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 …

In winter wheat (Triticum spp.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) varieties, long exposures to
nonfreezing cold temperatures accelerate flowering time (vernalization) and improve …

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 …

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 …

Low-temperature (LT) tolerance is an important economic trait in winter wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) that determines the plants' ability to cope with below freezing temperatures …

It is frequently observed that winter habit types are more low-temperature (LT) tolerant than
spring habit types. This raises the question of whether this is due to pleiotropic effects of the …

In the past few years, the signal transduction of the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) has
been studied extensively and has revealed an unanticipated complex. ABA, characterized …
