Abstract Through the annual cycle of plant growth and dormancy, winter season leads to profound metabolic changes allowing plants undergo cold acclimation. In boreal environments, conditions are changing rapidly likely cause damage commercial wild lowbush blueberry. this study, we addressed level frost hardiness determined role environmental factors nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) on hardine...

Instead of avoiding freezing, freeze tolerant invertebrates actively initiate controlled ice nucleation at relatively high sub-zero temperatures in extracellular compartments. Most produce proteinaceous ice-nucleators in their hemolymph, however the intertidal bivalve mollusc Geukensia demissa lacks this ability. Instead it utilizes at least one strain of ice-nucleation active (INA) bacteria, P...

Low temperature (LT) is one of the most abiotic stresses causing loss of yield in wheat (T. aestivum). Four major genes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with the dominant alleles designated Vrn–A1,Vrn–B1,Vrn–D1 and Vrn4, are known to have large effects on the vernalization response, but the effects on cold hardiness are ambiguous. Poor cold tolerance has restricted winter wheat production in reg...

The highly active peroxomolybdate, TBA 3 {PO 4 [MoO(O 2 ) ] }·3H O was incorporated for the first time in various porous MOF support structures (MIL-101, MOF-808, and ZIF-8) to form heterogeneous catalysts with different structural properties.
