Abstract excerpt
Corn is an economically important yet frost-sensitive crop, injured at the moment of ice nucleation. However, the influence of autumn temperatures on subsequent ice nucleation temperature is unknown. A 10-day chilling treatment under phytotron conditions ("mild", 18/6°C) or ("extreme", 10/5°C) generated no-visible damage but induced changes in the cuticle of the four genotypes in this study. The putatively more...
