Almond (Prunus dulcis Mill.), one of the most important nut crops, requires chilling during winter to develop fruiting buds. However, early spring chilling and late spring frost may damage the reproductive tissues leading to reduction in the rate of productivity. Despite the importance of transcriptional changes and regulation, little is known about the almond's transcriptome under the cold str...

Effects of temperature on the oncospheres of the cestode Microsomacanthus hopkinsi and its implication for their over-winter survival. Can. J. Zool. 70: 935 940. In an attempt to determine whether hymenolepidid oncospheres may overwinter and contribute to the pool of cysticercoids in the intermediate host population the following...

Overwintering and spring recovery of pine needles have important ecological significance. The natural changes in physiological state, photosynthetic function, material metabolism Pinus densiflora Siebold & Zucc. from the autumn 2020 to 2021 were assessed. rate (Pn) P. decreased first then increased, with maximum Pn observed autumn. After experiencing sub-zero temperatures winter, still perf...

Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb.) Blume and Nothofagus nitida (Phil.) Krasser are closely related evergreen trees native to south central Chile. Nothofagus dombeyi is a pioneer in habitats subject to high daytime irradiances and nighttime freezing temperatures and has a wider altitudinal and latitudinal distribution than N. nitida, which is restricted to more oceanic climates. We postulated that N. do...
