Conducting Field Trials for Frost Tolerance Breeding in Cereals.

Abstract excerpt

Cereal species can be damaged by frost either during winter or at flowering stage. Frost tolerance per se is only a part of the mechanisms that allow plants to survive during winter, while winter-hardiness also considers other biotic or physical stresses that challenge the plants during the winter season, limiting their survival rate. While frost tolerance can also be tested in controlled environments,...
