Frost resistance in alpine woody plants
This report provides a brief review of key findings related to frost resistance in alpine woody plant species, summarizes data on their frost resistance, highlights the importance of freeze avoidance mechanisms, and indicates areas of future research. Freezing temperatures are possible throughout the whole growing period in the alpine life zone. Frost severity, comprised of both intensity and d...
متن کاملNonstructural carbon in woody plants.
Nonstructural carbon (NSC) provides the carbon and energy for plant growth and survival. In woody plants, fundamental questions about NSC remain unresolved: Is NSC storage an active or passive process? Do older NSC reserves remain accessible to the plant? How is NSC depletion related to mortality risk? Herein we review conceptual and mathematical models of NSC dynamics, recent observations and ...
متن کاملElectrophysiology of Woody Plants
A fundamental property of all living organisms is related to the continuous gathering of environmental information and the expression of physiological responses aimed to optimize its performance under new environmental conditions. In order to keep homeostasis, plants need to continuously gather information about its environment and to react physiologically, in order to synchronize its normal bi...
متن کاملFrost resistance and ice nucleation in leaves of five woody timberline species measured in situ during shoot expansion.
Frost resistance and ice nucleation temperatures of leaves, from bud swelling until after full expansion, were measured in situ for five major woody timberline species with recently developed field freezing equipment. Frost resistance determined in situ on leaves of attached twigs was significantly higher than values determined on detached leaves in laboratory tests (e.g., the temperature at wh...
متن کاملCold Hardiness of Woody Plants
stresses caused by their freezing and thawing. A key difference between a hardy plant and a non-hardy plant is believed to be where the ice forms in freezing: inside the living cells or outside of them. If ice forms inside of cells, it is almost always fatal to them, and this is probably the principal cause of frost kill in non-hardy plants. Normally hardy tissue may be killed by moderate tempe...
