Warming Reduces Cold Hardiness of Boreal Plants but Damage Risk Varies by Species and Season. [PDF]
Whole ecosystem warming did not alter maximum midwinter cold hardiness of four boreal peatland species, but delayed fall acclimation and especially accelerated spring deacclimation. However, warming only increased cold damage risk in late winter and spring and for three of the four species, suggesting potential shifts in boreal forest composition ...

Chilling Accumulation Shapes Transcriptomic Responses to Warming Exposure During Grapevine Deacclimation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT During winter, grapevine (Vitis vinifera) bud dormancy and cold hardiness are regulated by complex interactions between chilling accumulation and warm temperature cues. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying physiological transitions during winter remain poorly understood.

Brassinosteroids negatively regulate barley deacclimation tolerance via modulation of chloroplast gene expression and cell hydration [PDF]
Global warming may cause overwintering plants to lose tolerance to low temperatures owing to de-acclimation caused by winter temperature fluctuations. The effect of elevated temperatures is regulated by the endogenous levels of phytohormones, including ...

Cold hardiness dynamics predict budbreak and associated low-temperature threats in grapevine. [PDF]
Summary Dormant buds of temperate woody perennial plants must attain cold hardiness to survive winters and timely lose it in spring to break bud while avoiding damage from low temperatures and late frosts. Therefore, we asked: Can a cold hardiness model be used to predict budbreak?

Mid-winter de-acclimation triggers a stress-like response in leaves of cold-acclimated wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at the tillering stage [PDF]
Background Active de-acclimation, triggered by mid-winter warm spells, threatens winter wheat survival under freezing conditions. This study investigated the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the response to active de-acclimation in eight

Cold hardiness mechanisms and modeling: existing approaches and future avenues. [PDF]
Summary Cold hardiness models are useful tools to predict cold damage in plants, such as those produced by unseasonal temperature cycles or by increased cold exposure. Although development of these models started about five decades ago, their applications remain limited.

Deacclimation-Induced Changes of Photosynthetic Efficiency, Brassinosteroid Homeostasis and BRI1 Expression in Winter Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)-Relation to Frost Tolerance. [PDF]
The objective of this study was to answer the question of how the deacclimation process affects frost tolerance, photosynthetic efficiency, brassinosteroid (BR) homeostasis and BRI1 expression of winter oilseed rape.

Memory in the wall: expanding our understanding of the roles of plant cell walls. [PDF]
Summary The plant cell wall, while providing mechanical support to cells, also dynamically adjusts its composition and structure in response to cellular and environmental cues. Recent findings indicate that plants exposed to cold stress alter the composition of cell wall polysaccharides and that this altered status primes the plants to overcome future,

Transcriptome Analysis of Diurnal and Nocturnal-Warmed Plants, the Molecular Mechanism Underlying Cold Deacclimation Response in Deschampsia antarctica. [PDF]
Warming in the Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest on earth, and is predicted to become more asymmetric in the near future. Warming has already favored the growth and reproduction of Antarctic plant species, leading to a decrease in their freezing ...
