Cold hardiness increases with age in juvenile Rhododendron populations
Winter survival in woody plants is controlled by environmental and genetic factors that affect the plant's ability to cold acclimate. Because woody perennials are long-lived and often have a prolonged juvenile (pre-flowering) phase, it is conceivable that both chronological and physiological age factors influence adaptive traits such as stress tolerance. This study investigated annual cold hard...
متن کاملRhododendron catawbiense plasma membrane intrinsic proteins are aquaporins, and their over-expression compromises constitutive freezing tolerance and cold acclimation ability of transgenic Arabidopsis plants.
Extracellular freezing results in cellular dehydration caused by water efflux, which is likely regulated by aquaporins (AQPs). In a seasonal cold acclimation (CA) study of Rhododendron catawbiense, two AQP cDNAs, RcPIP2;1 and RcPIP2;2, were down-regulated as the leaf freezing tolerance (FT) increased from -7 to approximately -50 degrees C. We hypothesized this down-regulation to be an adaptive ...
متن کاملBiomechanical Acclimation: Flying Cold
Why are animals reared at colder temperatures larger? A new study shows that fruit flies reared at lower temperatures are better able to fly in the cold.
متن کاملTemperature regulation and cold acclimation.
The questions concerned with temperature regulation raise sufficient controversy in themselves so that little but valor or foolishness can be attributed to one who chooses to discuss this subject in the furor of a second controversy acclimatization. However, I should like to introduce the papers of this session with a summary and a synthesis of the data with respect to control of metabolism and...
متن کاملTemperature sensing and cold acclimation.
The fundamental question in cold acclimation is how do plants perceive the low but nonfreezing temperatures that activate cold acclimation responses. New findings in the past year suggest that changes in membrane fluidity, cytoskeleton rearrangement, and calcium influxes are among the earliest events taking place in plants upon exposure to low nonfreezing temperatures. In the cyanobacterium Syn...
