Antifreeze proteins are found in a wide range of overwintering plants where they inhibit the
growth and recrystallization of ice that forms in intercellular spaces. Unlike antifreeze …

Overwintering plants produce antifreeze proteins (AFPs) having the ability to adsorb onto the
surface of ice crystals and modify their growth. Recently, several AFPs have been isolated …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Cold stress adversely affects plant growth, development, and yield. Also, the spatial and
geographical distribution of plant species is influenced by low temperatures. Cold stress …

Sub-zero temperatures put plants at risk of damage associated with the formation of ice
crystals in the apoplast. Some freeze-tolerant plants mitigate this risk by expressing ice …

The grass Lolium perenne produces an ice-binding protein (LpIBP) that helps this perennial
tolerate freezing by inhibiting the recrystallization of ice. Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are also …

The crystal structure of the recombinant collagen‐binding domain of Yersinia adhesin YadA
from Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O: 3 was solved at 1.55 Å resolution. The trimeric …

AFPs (antifreeze proteins) are produced by many organisms that inhabit ice-laden
environments. They facilitate survival at sub-zero temperatures by binding to, and inhibiting …

This book explores gene sharing—a term originally coined to describe the observation that
structural proteins (called crystallins) responsible for the transparent and refractive …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) designate a class of proteins that are able to bind to and inhibit
the growth of macromolecular ice. These proteins have been characterized from a variety of …
