Molecular Plant, 2010 Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, is one of the most important tools in plant breeding and has previously been demonstrated for plant freezing tolerance. Freezing tolerance is an important trait because it can limit the geographical distribution of plants and their agricultural yield.

Molecular Physiology of Freeze Tolerance in Vertebrates [PDF]
Physiological Reviews, 2017 Freeze tolerance is an amazing winter survival strategy used by various amphibians and reptiles living in seasonally cold environments. These animals may spend weeks or months with up to ∼65% of their total body water frozen as extracellular ice and no physiological vital signs, and yet after thawing they return to normal life within a few hours.

EMBO Journal, 2020 The transient elevation of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) induced by cold stress is a well‐established phenomenon; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Temperatures had a strong effect on many life history traits, including growth, development and reproduction. At near-freezing temperatures (0–4°C), yeast cells could trigger series of biochemical reactions to respond and adapt to the stress, protect ...

Evolution of freezing susceptibility and freezing tolerance in terrestrial arthropods
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2002 Arthropods have evolved various adaptations to survive adverse seasons and it has long been discussed why some arthropods are freezing-susceptible and some are freezing-tolerant. However, which mode of frost resistance came first during the course of evolution?

Key Molecular and Metabolic Processes Used for Genetic Engineering to Improve Freezing Tolerance in Cereals [PDF]
, 2016 It has been estimated recently that cereals are harvested on 700 million hectares (Mha) worldwide (Dunwell, 2014), and also that, due to low temperature damage, worldwide losses in crop production amount to about US$2 billion each year (Sanghera et ...

Freeze tolerance in an arctic Alaska stonefly [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009 SUMMARY Most aquatic insects do not survive subzero temperatures and, for those that do, the physiology has not been well characterized. Nemoura arctica is a species of stonefly widely distributed throughout arctic and subarctic Alaska.

Freeze avoidance: a dehydrating moss gathers no ice [PDF]
, 2010 Using cryo-SEM with EDX fundamental structural and mechanical properties of the moss Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Brid. were studied in relation to tolerance of freezing temperatures.

Plant Methods, 2008 Background Freezing tolerance is an important factor in the geographical distribution of plants and strongly influences crop yield. Many plants increase their freezing tolerance during exposure to low, nonfreezing temperatures in a process termed cold ...

Mechanisms underlying insect freeze tolerance [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2018 ABSTRACTFreeze tolerance – the ability to survive internal ice formation – has evolved repeatedly in insects, facilitating survival in environments with low temperatures and/or high risk of freezing. Surviving internal ice formation poses several challenges because freezing can cause cellular dehydration and mechanical damage, and restricts the ...
