Abstract excerpt
Plants show complex adaptations to freezing that prevent cell damage caused by cellular dehydration. Lipid remodeling of cell membranes during dehydration is one critical mechanism countering loss of membrane integrity and cell death. SENSITIVE TO FREEZING 2 (SFR2), a gene essential for freezing...
