Freezing or low temperatures constitute the major factors restricting the geographical locations suitable for growing crops and horticultural plants, and at times account for considerable losses in plant productivity. Most temperate plants acquire freezing tolerance by a process called “cold acclimation.” For the past 15–20 years significant effort has been put forth to understand the phenomenon of cold acclimation and considerable development has been made to understand the molecular mechanisms by which this process is regulated during ...
