Evergreen conifers are champions of winter survival, based on their remarkable ability to
acclimate to cold and develop cold hardiness. Counterintuitively, autumn cold acclimation is …

Dormancy is the mechanism that plants use to protect sensitive tissue from unfavourable
climatic conditions. In a changing global environment, temperate fruit crop adaptation might …

The path to dormancy induction, maintenance, and release is a continuum and has been the
topic of thousands of research articles to date. It would be an impossible task and indeed …

The abilities of cold-hardy plants to resist deacclimation during transient warm spells and to
reacclimate when cold temperatures return are significant for winter survival. Yet compared …

Frost tolerance is an acquired characteristic of plants that is induced in response to
environmental cues preceding the onset of freezing temperatures and activation of a cold …

Mapping and sequencing of the non-dormant evg mutant in peach [Prunus persica (L.)
Batsch] identified six tandem-arrayed DAM (d ormancy-a ssociated M ADS-box) genes as …

Low, non-freezing temperatures and/or short daylength (SD) regulates cold acclimation and
dormancy in fruit trees. Regarding cold acclimation, C-repeat binding factor (CBF/DREB) …

Dormancy of grapevine buds, which is of special concern in warm subtropical and tropical
climates, is reviewed. The sequence of the stages of dormancy, from the onset of pre …

Drought stress may alter protein synthesis in turfgrasses. The objectives of this study were to
investigate physiological changes associated with the synthesis of dehydrin and a cytosolic …

D. Siminovitch and his graduate student, Keith Pomeroy also were among the first to
document that the protoplasm underwent distinct biochemical changes during cold …
