The differential response of cold-experienced Arabidopsis thaliana to larval herbivory benefits an insect generalist, but not a specialist [PDF]
Background In native environments plants frequently experience simultaneous or sequential unfavourable abiotic and biotic stresses. The plant’s response to combined stresses is usually not the sum of the individual responses.

The effect of cold acclimation, deacclimation and reacclimation on metabolite profiles and freezing tolerance in winter wheat. [PDF]
Global climate change will cause longer and warmer autumns, thus negatively affecting the quality of cold acclimation (CA) and reducing the freezing tolerance (FT) of winter wheat. Insufficient FT and fluctuating temperatures during winter can accelerate

The effect of cold priming on the fitness of Arabidopsis thaliana accessions under natural and controlled conditions [PDF]
Priming improves an organism's performance upon a future stress. To test whether cold priming supports protection in spring and how it is affected by cold acclimation, we compared seven Arabidopsis accessions with different cold acclimation potentials in

Emerging Research Advancements to Overcome the Peach Spring Frost [PDF]
The phenomena of global warming has led to an increase in the average air temperature in temperate climates. Springtime frost damage is becoming more common, and after a period of dormancy, damage to buds, blooms, and developing fruits is greater ...

Identification and validation of microsatellite markers in strawberry tree (Arbutusunedo L.) [PDF]
Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.), an evergreen shrub/small tree of the family Ericaceae, is a main constituent of the Mediterranean basin flora; although it is also found in southwestern Prance, Macaronesia, and Ireland. The small fruits are edible but

Survival Under Prolonged Cold: Duration of Stress, an Overlooked Factor in Freezing Tolerance Tests. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Freezing tolerance (FT) is widely assessed in laboratories by measuring electrolyte‐leakage (EL) from tissues exposed to sub‐zero temperatures. This method employs cooling programs which typically result in extracellular freezing in herbaceous tissues causing cellular desiccation, a major determinant of injury manifested in EL, among other ...

Diversity of winter photoinhibitory responses: a case study in co-occurring lichens, mosses, herbs and woody plants from subalpine environments [PDF]
Winter evergreens living in mountainous areas have to withstand a harsh combination of high light levels and low temperatures in wintertime. In response, evergreens can activate a photoprotective process that consists of the downregulation of ...

Characteristics of Cold Acclimation and Deacclimation in Tuber-bearing Solanum Species [PDF]
The effect of temperatures on cold acclimation and deacclimation in foliage tissues was studied in Solanum commersonii (Oka 4583), a tuber-bearing potato. The threshold temperature for cold acclimation was about 12 C. In a temperature range of 2 to 12 C, the increase in hardiness was dependent on the acclimating temperature; the lower the acclimating ...

Cold Hardiness in Trees: A Mini-Review
Significant advances have been made in our understanding of the regulation of cold hardiness. The existence of numerous biophysical and biochemical adaptive mechanisms in perennial woody plants and the complexity their regulation has made the development
