Background Tea is the most popular non-alcoholic health beverage in the world. The tea
plant (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) needs to undergo a cold acclimation process to …

Cold stress (temperature< 8° C) during reproductive growth of chickpea is detrimental to
flowering and pod set. Cold-sensitive genotypes either delay their flowering or abort their …

The relationship between chilling injury and sugar metabolism was investigated in loquat
fruit stored at 1° C for 35days. No symptoms of chilling injury occurred in the fruit, of …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is sensitive to chilling stress (< 15° C). In the present study,
hydroponically grown 14-day-old chickpea seedlings were subjected to temperatures …

Kiwifruit is cold-sensitive and very susceptible to chilling injury (CI) during low temperature
storage. In this study, kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis cv. Hongyang) were pre-treated by water …

Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding
of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops …

Abstract β-Amylases (BAMs) are key enzymes of transitory starch degradation in
chloroplasts, a process that buffers the availability of photosynthetically fixed carbon over the …

Truffles ascocarps need carbon to grow, but it is not known whether this carbon comes
directly from the tree (heterotrophy) or from soil organic matter (saprotrophy). The objective …
