چکیده

Exposure of six wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and one rye (Secale cereale L.) cultivar to 40% relative humidity for 24 hours induced the same degree of freezing tolerance in seedling epicotyls as did cold conditioning for 4 weeks at 2 degrees C.Frost hardiness varietal relationships were the same in desiccation-stressed and cold-hardened seedlings. Drought stress could, therefore, be used as a rapid and simple method for inducing frost hardiness in seedling shoots in replacement of cold conditioning.

Efficiency of cold hardiness induction by desiccation stress in four winter cereals.

A number of defined desiccation treatments without low temperature exposure were able to induce freezing tolerance in 20 cultivars of winter cereals. A maximal degree of freezing tolerance was induced in epicotyls at 24 degrees C in 24 hours at 40% relative humidity in rye and wheat, 7 days at 54% RH in barley, and 4 days at 70% RH in oats. Freezing tolerance was not correlated to water content...

Quantifying the threshold frost hardiness for over-wintering survival of wheat in Iran, using simulation

                The value of frost tolerance in wheat is increased with decreasing the temperature in late autumn and/or early winter (phase I, acclimation), then shows plateau state for a period with the coldest temperature (II), finally appears to decrease with warming the temperature (III, de-acclimation). This study was aimed to determine the threshold frost hardiness in wheat for avoiding ...

Temperature Dependence of Photosynthesis of Bean Plants as Affected by Decenylsuccinic Acid.

Photosynthesis of most plants decreases rapidly when the leaf temperature drops below 100. In contrast, however, several frost resistant plant species still perform appreciable photosynthesis at temperatures below 50 (8). Vetuhova (14, 15) demonstrated that photosvnthesis at low temperature was related to winter hardiness. When leaves were cooled, she observed a smaller depression of photosynth...

Swelling and Contraction of Mitochondria from Cold-hardened and Nonhardened Wheat and Rye Seedlings.

A comparison of mitochondria isolated from 2 and 24 C grown winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and winter rye (Secale cereale L.) seedlings revealed no correlation between changes in swelling and contraction characteristics and extent of cold hardiness. The swelling response changed markedly due to growth at low temperature, but the change was similar for the four cultivars examined. The swell...

Relationship Between Frost Injury and Ion Leakage as an Indicator of Cold Hardiness in 60 Almond Selections

Frost damage to the flowers and early developing fruits is one of the most limiting factors in almond cultivation regions of the world. This study was undertaken to understand almond response to frost damage concerning ion leakage in order to develop a criterion for the selection of frost-resistant cultivars in field experiments. In this work, 60 almond cultivars and genotypes on the basis fros...
