Cold-shock and chilling tolerance in Drosophila

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1994
Abstract Adult flies of Drosophila melanogaster were examined for their tolerance to direct (cold-shock) and indirect chilling (chilling) injury. An exponential increase in mortality with low temperatures occurs. Chilling tolerance (T ch ) at 4 or 0°C was 6.3 days or 37.91 h for 50% survival (LT 50 ), respectively, while the cold-shock tolerance ...

The Inheritance of Chilling Tolerance in Tomato (Lycopersicon spp.)

Plant Biology, 2005
Abstract: During the past 25 years, chilling tolerance of the cultivated (chilling‐sensitive) tomato Lycopersicon esculentum and its wild, chilling‐tolerant relatives L. peruvianum and L. hirsutum (and, less intensively studied, L. chilense) has been the object of several investigations.

Recovery after Chilling: An Assessment of Chill-Tolerance inPhaseolusspp.

Journal of Experimental Botany, 1987
Guye, M. G., Vigh, L. and Wilson, J. M. 1987. Recovery after chilling: an assessment of chill-tolerance in Phaseolus spp.—J. exp. Bot., 38: 691-701. The chill-sensitivity of three Phaseolus spp. (eight cultivars) was assessed by measuring five different physiological parameters (leaf pigment loss, leaf diffusion resistance, relative growth rate ...

Higher Chilling-Tolerance of Grafted-Cucumber Seedling Leaves upon Exposure to Chilling Stress

Agricultural Sciences in China, 2008
Abstract The roots of figleaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia, as rootstock) could improve the resistance of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Jinyan 4, as scion) to low temperature. In this experiment, the root activity and photosynthetic activity of photosystems in the own-rooted and grafted-cucumber plants were studied at chilling temperature (4 ...

Abscisic Acid-Induced Chilling Tolerance in Maize

1997
Recent trends in agricultural practice of maize (Zea mays L.) in North America have been to plant the crop earlier in the spring to take the advantage of more rainfall and radiation energy, and to avoid the hot and dry periods during pollination and fertilization.

Chilling-Induced Alterations in the Photosynthetic Capacity of Chilling-Tolerant and Chilling-Sensitive Cultivars of Zea Mays

1990
An inhibition of photosynthetic capacity is commonly observed when plants of tropical and subtropical origin are subjected to temperatures between 0°C and 15°C. Chilling-induced alterations in photosynthetic processes are one of the first manifestations of chilling stress and have often been characterized by declines in the rate of CO2 uptake over time

Increased ethylene synthesis enhances chilling tolerance in tomato

Physiologia Plantarum, 1997
Exposure to chilling temperatures (0–10°C) increases ethylene synthesis in several species, but it is not clear whether this increase in ethylene synthesis is involved in the development of chilling tolerance. To determine this relationship, chilling tolerance development of the ethylene‐insensitive Never‐ripe (Nr) tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.
