Relationship between aquaporins expression and B concentration for conferring cold stress tolerance in broccoli cultivars

• Physiological and molecular response to cold stress in Broccoli cultivars was analysed. Cause-effect relation between aquaporins expression tolerance broccoli showed. resistance is directly related boron, with NIP6 aquaporin involved. Increased water transport by crucial for Naxos cultivar strategy against cold. Constitutive high of the Triton cultivar. an important crop worldwide numerous nutritional benefits. Three (Naxos, Mykonos) grown winter Spain highly throughout Europe has been investigated, since they have deal great variation temperature day night often suffers from frosts. As, there no physiological or studies that allows elucidate mechanisms involved its ability resist cold, this study, we seek determine mineral content, relations gas exchange response, together three different a recurring 4 °C at night. A clear cause-effect relationship shown regarding control stress, as well importance boron process broccoli. Specifically, each showed patterns according strategies utilized cope but adapted levels after low treatment. Furthermore, seems be decisive maintaining adequate leaves accordance conditions.
