Identification of a homolog of Arabidopsis DSP4 (SEX4) in chestnut: its induction and accumulation in stem amyloplasts during winter or in response to the cold_ [PDF]
, 2011 Oligosaccharide synthesis is an important cryoprotection strategy used by woody plants during winter dormancy. At the onset of autumn, starch stored in the stem and buds is broken down in response to the shorter days and lower temperatures resulting in ...

Cold-hardiness and Deacclimation of Styrax americanus from Three Provenances [PDF]
HortScience, 2010 Styrax americanus Lam. (American snowbell) is a deciduous shrub or small tree seldom produced in nurseries. This species is distributed in patchy populations found mainly from Florida to southern Illinois, although a small, disjunct population exists in northern Illinois.

Modeling of the acclimation/deacclimation process of a mixed culture degrading 4-chlorophenol
Water Science and Technology, 2004 The variation of concentration of the toxic substrate has a negative effect on the sludge activity. Although this loss of activity of the microorganisms under toxic starvation has been reported, this variable is not taken into account in the operation of biological wastewater treatment plants. In order to monitor and control the biological plant with a

A strategy for the identification of new abiotic stress determinants in arabidopsis using web-based data mining and reverse genetics [PDF]
, 2011 Since the sequencing of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome in 2000, plant researchers have faced the complex challenge of assigning function to thousands of genes. Functional discovery by in silico prediction or homology search resolved a significant number

Cold-hardiness, Acclimation, and Deacclimation among Diverse Blueberry Genotypes [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2012 Cold injury to plants can occur by early fall freezes before cold acclimation, by severe midwinter freezes that exceed the limits of the plant's tolerance, or by hard freezes in late winter or early spring after partial or complete deacclimation.

Water stress is a component of cold acclimation process essential for inducing full freezing tolerance in strawberry [PDF]
, 2014 The factors involved in cold acclimation process and their role in inducing freezing tolerance were studied in strawberry (Fragaria X ananassa) plants. The results show that low temperature and water stress are two key components of cold acclimation, in ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 Due to global warming, winter hardiness may seem to become less important for plant survival and yield. However, this is a superficial assumption, as probably only the most important factors locally affecting plant overwintering will change. For example,

Extreme low temperature tolerance in woody plants [PDF]
Woody plants in boreal to arctic environments and high mountains survive prolonged exposure to temperatures below -40°C and minimum temperatures below -60°C, and laboratory tests show that many of these species can also survive immersion in liquid ...
