Journal ArticleDOI
Plant Freezing and Damage
TL;DR: In conclusion, experiments to genetically engineer expression of fish antifreeze proteins have not improved freezing tolerance of sensitive species, and a better strategy may be to confer tolerance of cellular dehydration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular analysis of acclimation to cold
TL;DR: Transformation of alfalfa to overexpress a superoxide dismutase gene increased cold-tolerance and drought-resistance and demonstrated that improvements in field-survival of stresses is possible by transgenic means.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freezing of Barley Studied by Infrared Video Thermography
TL;DR: The initial spread is a prerequisite for the second freezing event, which can cause damage, and the route of the initial spread of ice may be extracellular, drawing water from more gel-like parts of the cell wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of Expression of Three Cold-Induced Genes,blt101, blt4.9, and blt14, in Different Tissues of the Crown and Developing Leaves of Cold-Acclimated Cultivated Barley

TL;DR: Damage in the vascular-transition zone of the crown correlated closely with plant survival, and the strong expression of blt101 and blt14 in this zone may indicate a direct role in freezing tolerance of the Crown.
