Effect of Freezing Temperature Tolerance | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the effect of freezing temperature tolerance on plants. Manifestation of cold acclamation is accomplished by increased freezing tolerance in several plants. Non-acclimatized plants are injured or killed by temperature above -10°C. Interestingly, certain freezing acclimated tree species can survive freezing temperature between -40 and -50°C, for example, non-acclimated wheat and rye plants are [...]
