Frost Survival of Plants

Více o knize

Focusing on the complexities of winter survival, this book explores the environmental constraints of low temperatures, drought, and salt stress on plant productivity. It emphasizes the multifaceted dangers of winter cold, including ice formation in tissues and the impact of snow cover. While previous literature has primarily addressed cellular injury and resistance mechanisms, the authors advocate for a deeper understanding of ultrastructural and biochemical changes, particularly in plasma membranes, to enhance knowledge of frost resistance and cold acclimation in plants.
