Freezing treatment under light conditions leads to a dramatic enhancement of freezing tolerance in cold-acclimated Arabidopsis.

Abstract excerpt

Overwintering plants survive subzero temperatures by cold acclimation (CA), wherein they acquire freezing tolerance through short-term exposure to low temperatures above 0°C. The freezing tolerance of CA plants increases when they are subsequently exposed to mild subzero temperatures, a phenomenon known as second-phase cold hardening (2PH). Here, we explored the molecular mechanism and physiological conditions of...
