cold-tolerance

2 articles

Cold-tolerance is the physiological capacity of plants to survive and maintain metabolic function in freezing or subfreezing temperatures through specialized molecular and cellular adaptations. This trait is fundamental to understanding plant survival in polar, alpine, and temperate climates, and for predicting how plant communities will respond to seasonal freezing and climate variability. Research in cold-tolerance directly impacts crop breeding programs and agriculture in cold regions, helping identify which varieties will thrive as temperature patterns shift globally.
