Abstract excerpt
Freezing temperatures control where and when plants can grow, and negatively influence crop quality and productivity. To identify key regulatory genes involved in cold adaptation, we screened activation-tagged Arabidopsis lines for mutants with greater freezing tolerance. One mutant, freezing tolerant line1 (ftl1-1D), manifested enhanced tolerance along with dwarfism and delayed flowering. This was caused by...
