    About this ebook

    Low Temperature Stress in Crop Plants: The Role of the Membrane contains the proceedings of an international seminar on ""Low Temperature Stress in Crop Plants"" held at the East-West Center, Honolulu, Hawaii, March 26-30, 1979. Organized into five parts, this book focuses on the fundamental mechanisms involved in the temperature response of crop plants. It examines the hypotheses related to the primary temperature sensor in crop plants and the mechanisms of low temperature injury. It also explores the genetic potential for cold resistance. Special topics related to the utilization of Arrhenius plots of the temperature response of plants are also discussed.

      To Survive Cold, Some Plants Kill Part of Their Roots

      Jul 6, 2017

      Some plants may selectively kill part of their roots in order to survive cold weather conditions, researchers have found. This approach allows the plants to withstand chilling stress and to recover faster when the weather turns better. The discovery
