Gene action for cold tolerance in chickpea [PDF]
Six crosses were investigated using combining ability and generation mean analyses for reaction to cold tolerance in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The combining ability variances revealed the significance of both additive and nonadditive gene effects, with preponderance of additive gene effects.

Cold Tolerance Encoded in One SNP [PDF]
Cold tolerance fundamentally affects world crop harvest. Ma et al. now identify a single-nucleotide polymorphism in a gene called COLD1 that confers cold tolerance in japonica rice. This study reveals important insights into agronomical traits that are essential for human nutrition.

Advances in understanding Lepidoptera cold tolerance
Ambient thermal conditions mediate insect growth, development, reproduction, survival, and distribution. With increasingly frequent and severe cold spells, it is critical to determine low-temperature performance and cold tolerances of ecologically and economically essential insect groups to predict their responses to global environmental change.

Identification of Genes Related to Cold Tolerance and a Functional Allele That Confers Cold Tolerance [PDF]
Cold stress is a major factor limiting rice (Oryza sativa) production worldwide, especially at the seedling and booting stages. The identification of genes associated with cold tolerance (CT) in rice is important for sustainable food production. Here, we report the results of a genome-wide association study to identify the genetic loci associated with ...

Heat tolerance is more variable than cold tolerance across species of Iberian lizards after controlling for intraspecific variation [PDF]
The widespread observation that heat tolerance is less variable than cold tolerance ('cold-tolerance asymmetry') leads to the prediction that species exposed to temperatures near their thermal maxima should have reduced evolutionary potential for ...

Deciphering the myth of cold tolerance in soybean: An overview of molecular breeding applications
The soybean is a source of several dietary components, including milk, protein, and oil. Cold stress has significantly curtailed soybean growth and yield in large areas and caused a high risk to global food security.

Effects of chronic cold treatment on root elongation and gene expression in "Arabidopsis thaliana" [PDF]
Low temperature is a major limitation of plant growth. Cold adaptation is important for the survival and distribution of plant species at high elevations and high latitudes.
