The Effect of Drought Stress and Decreasing Daylengths on the Acquisition of Freezing Tolerance in Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) under Controlled Conditions [PDF]
The acquisition of freezing tolerance is a complex and vital process for asparagus grown in temperate regions. The impact of drought and decreasing photoperiods on this trait were explored using two cultivars with varying adaptation to Southern Ontario ...

Gene expression analysis of two Asparagus officinalis L. cultivars with varying levels of freezing tolerance under field and controlled environments [PDF]
Freezing tolerance in asparagus has been associated with timely acclimation of cultivars in the fall, delayed spring deacclimation, and levels of certain cryoprotectants such as fructans, glucose, protein, and proline in the crown.

ABSTRACT Quantitative and perceptual studies have been used to define and model sustainable tourist behaviour in past years, but few studies have undertaken qualitative research of actual behaviour to delve deeper into understanding the different classifications of such behaviour. This research employed a three‐phase design, comprising a pretrip survey,
