In terrestrial environments, temperature and water conditions are highly variable, and
extreme temperatures and water conditions affect the survival, growth and reproduction of …

Abiotic stresses, especially cold, salinity and drought, are the primary causes of crop loss
worldwide. Plant adaptation to environmental stresses is dependent upon the activation of …

Plants are constantly exposed to a variety of environmental stresses. Freezing or extremely
low temperature constitutes a key factor influencing plant growth, development and crop …

▪ Abstract Many plants increase in freezing tolerance upon exposure to low nonfreezing
temperatures, a phenomenon known as cold acclimation. In this review, recent advances in …

Plant growth and productivity are greatly affected by environmental stresses such as
drought, high salinity, and low temperature. Expression of a variety of genes is induced by …

Low temperature, drought, and high salinity are common stress conditions that adversely
affect plant growth and crop production. The cellular and molecular responses of plants to …

Cold temperatures trigger the expression of the CBF family of transcription factors, which in
turn activate many downstream genes that confer chilling and freezing tolerance to plants …

Recently, a major transcription system that controls abscisicacid-independent gene
expression in response to dehydration and low temperature has been identified. The system …

Cold temperatures trigger the expression of the CBF family of transcription factors, which in
turn activate many downstream genes that confer freezing tolerance to plants. It has been …
