Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant compound responses to chilling stress in differentially sensitive inbred maize lines
TL;DR: Concentrations of total ascorbate and glutathione and β-carotene in the chilling-sensitive line increased as the chilling treatment progressed and as the plants developed until they ultimately became either significantly higher or no different relative to the tolerant lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant enzyme responses to chilling stress in differentially sensitive inbred maize lines
TL;DR: Changes in levels of sugar and starch indicated a more rapid disruption of carbohydrate utilization in comparison to photosynthetic rates in the chilling-sensitive line under short-term chilling shocks and suggested a greater degree of acclimation in the tolerant lines over longer periods of chilling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant Enzyme and Compound Responses to Chilling Stress and their Combining Abilities in Differentially Sensitive Maize Hybrids
TL;DR: The higher chill/control ratios of carbohydrates in the sensitive hybrids after chilling indicated that their rate of assimilate utilization was reduced by the chilling treatment more so than those of the chilling tolerant hybrids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of Anaerobic Metabolites Accumulating in Winter Wheat Seedlings during Ice Encasement
TL;DR: Permeability and ultrastructural evidence suggest that CO(2) and ethanol in combination are the agents reducing plant viability during ice encasement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Temperature on Respiration of Mitochondria and Shoot Segments from Cold hardened and Nonhardened Wheat and Rye Seedlings
TL;DR: The results support the view that changes other than fatty acid unsaturation are involved in the abrupt change in mitochondrial membrane properties at low temperature.
