Abstract excerpt
Winter survival is a determinant factor for the persistence of perennials grown in northern climates. High winter survival cultivars, however, have lower yield due to their early transition into a dormant state in the fall. Here we describe a whole plant assay entirely performed indoor in growth chambers and walk-in freezers to identify low-dormant genotypes with superior freezing tolerance within populations of...
