Safeguard your garden from the chill with these savvy tips.
Freezing temperatures induce dehydrative stress on plants, as water absorption in the root and water transport in the plant decreases. [2] Water in and between cells in the plant freezes and expands, causing tissue damage. Cold hardening is a process in which a plant undergoes physiological changes to avoid, or mitigate cellular injuries caused ...
The ability to control intercellular ice formation during freezing is critical to the survival of freeze-tolerant plants. [3] If intracellular ice forms, it could be lethal to the plant when adhesion between cellular membranes and walls occur. The process of freezing tolerance through cold acclimation is a two-stage mechanism: [4]
Frost resistance is the ability of plants to survive cold temperatures. Generally, land plants of the northern hemisphere have higher frost resistance than those of the southern hemisphere. [1] An example of a frost resistant plant is Drimys winteri which is more frost-tolerant than naturally occurring conifers and vessel-bearing angiosperms ...
